My husband and I have company often. Keeping a supply of these frozen meatballs on hand means I can easily prepare a quick, satisfying meal. I start with a versatile meatball mix that makes about 12 dozen meatballs, then freeze them in batches for future use. -Ruth Andrewson, Leavenworth, Washington

MAKE-AHEAD MEATBALLS

These were good basic meatballs added to veggies and noodles and another time added to spaghetti sauce. Adapted from Crusine At Home. The original recipe used 2 strips bacon which I skipped. I also used ground bison -- adding 1 T oil instead of ground beef.

A wonderful all-purpose meatball to use in a variety of recipes! Easy to make, and with ingredients usually on hand. The yield is based on 1-1/2" meatballs, but you can make them smaller. I get about forty-eight 1" meatballs out of this same recipe.
