I love spaghetti with meatballs. Usually when I make spaghetti sauce, I pull out some meatballs from the freezer and let it all meld together in a crockpot, on low, for a few hours. Makes the sauce even better. Makes the meatballs even softer and moist. I dream about things like these.
Making your own meatballs is easy! I made about 4 dozen a couple of weeks ago and that will make for several meals for my family. They’re just sitting in the freezer waiting for their time to shine! These are perfect for spaghetti, meatball subs, as a pizza topping, or in a panini!
