Notes

Serve with a dish of warmed marina for dipping or over pasta with marinara sauce. Also great in a bowl with rice and roasted veggies or stuffed in a pita with tzatziki, lettuce, and tomato!

This is our basic recipe, but we make these about once a week and I experiment with different flavors all the time. Cajun seasoning, Greek seasoning, seasoned salt, etc. all make great swaps for the Italian seasoning and s&p situation. You really can't mess these up!

To make barbecue meatballs, brush them with sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking so it can caramelize a bit.

To freeze, place cooked and cooled meatballs in a freezer safe bag and seal. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, add frozen meatballs to marinara and cook over low heat until warmed through.
