The Best Meatball Recipes | Ambitious Kitchen


MEATBALLS. They don’t simply go together with spaghetti, children. Over the previous few years, I’ve created over 10 superb meatball recipes which are full of taste, served with enjoyable sauces, and severely SO straightforward to make. Should you’ve by no means made meatballs from scratch earlier than, prepare to your new favourite cooking undertaking.

I usually make all of my wholesome meatball recipes with floor rooster or floor turkey as a result of we hardly ever purchase beef, however you’re welcome to make use of floor beef if you happen to’d like! I like cooking meatballs for dinner as a result of they’re:

  • Full of tons of lean protein
  • Simple to customise with scrumptious spices and sauces
  • Child-friendly and freezer-friendly!

What’s to not love? Take a look at all of my superb meatball recipes beneath, and learn to prep them forward of time + freeze them for later for the final word meal prep.

Make your meatballs forward of time

Should you’re seeking to make a meatball recipe, you may completely prep them 1-2 days forward of time or freeze them for later. To prep them:

  1. Combine and type the meatballs as directed within the recipe you’re following.
  2. Prepare dinner them as directed and retailer them within the fridge for as much as 2-3 days till you’re able to proceed with the recipe, OR place them uncooked on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Tightly cowl the meatballs with plastic wrap.
  3. Put the uncooked meatballs within the fridge till you might be able to cook dinner them.
  4. As soon as able to cook dinner, merely comply with the recipe as written.

Two methods to freeze meatballs

One of many causes I LOVE making meatballs is as a result of they’re extremely straightforward to freeze for later! There are two methods to do it:

  • Bake first, then freeze: merely place your meatballs by themselves or in a sauce in a freezer secure, airtight container or bag and freeze them for as much as 3 months. While you’re able to get pleasure from, let your container of meatballs (and sauce, if utilizing) thaw within the fridge for a number of hours or in a single day, after which empty the contents right into a pan on the stovetop. Warmth them in your pan till they’re good and heat, after which serve!
  • Freeze earlier than baking: it’s also possible to freeze meatballs earlier than cooking them! Type your meatballs as instructed, place them on a baking sheet, and put them within the freezer for 1-2 hours. Then, switch your frozen meatballs to an hermetic, freezer-friendly bag or container and place them within the freezer for as much as 3 months. To thaw them, merely place them within the fridge for a number of hours or in a single day after which cook dinner them as directed within the recipe that you just’re following.
