Fast Meals
- Frozen meatballs can be combined with sauces and ingredients to make a variety of quick meals. These meals include Meatball Sandwiches, Swedish Meatballs, and Meatball Soup.
Crock Pot Cooking
- Already-cooked frozen meatballs can be tossed into a crock pot with other ingredients for easy meal preparation. There are several crock pot recipes which call for frozen meatballs, such as Meatball Soup with Bow Tie Pasta or Easy Crock Pot Sweet and Sour Meatballs (see Resources).
Defrosting
- It isn't necessary to defrost frozen meatballs before cooking with them. They can be fried and then added to sauces and other ingredients when preparing meals. They will take a little longer to cook than meatballs that aren't frozen.
