frequently asked questions
Because I tend to eat more low-carb, I love to serve mine on a bed of mashed cauliflower, but mashed potatoes is what my kids request. Also, let’s talk about leftovers and extras. These meatballs make the absolute best meatloaf sandwich the next day. (Try a meatloaf sandwich with my deviled eggs as a side!)
Extra meatballs freeze wonderfully and are perfect for those days when you need something in a hurry for those hungry mouths!
Simply make the recipe as instructed, freeze the meatballs, and when you’re ready, thaw and pop them in the oven at 350° until they’re warmed through! Dinner is served!
