Make these when you have time because they’re delicious and they freeze well. I just pulled a bag out of the freezer for dinner added them to a pot of sauce and served it over spaghetti. So easy. They’re also great over polenta!

1. Preheat oven to 375˚F
2. In a large bowl, mix meatball ingredients until evenly combined.
