Notes

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips
  • Serve these meatballs as an appetizer on skewers with the sauce on the side for dipping. They are perfectly fine at room temperature.
  • I also like to serve them as lettuce wraps in small butter lettuce leaves.
  • Store meatballs and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Meatballs can be frozen for 2 months.
