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

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.

MEATBALLS FOR STOCKING UP FREEZER

Meatballs for Stocking up Freezer image

Make and add to various recipes... like tator tots, drained green beans, and cream of mushroom soup. We love that and so easy! Meatballs are good with leftover beef gravy and mashed potatoes, too. I freeze portions in separate zip lock bags, defrost, and have an easy supper. I am guessing at the exact servings-I can eat 5 or 6 meatballs. I use my oven to brown my meatballs-lazy me- but you can do it on top of your stove if you prefer. And if you want to make a sauce -try 1 envelope brown gravy mix made up, mix in 1/2 cup sour cream, and dash each of nutmeg and pepper.
