This week I was able to double 2 1 meal for the freezer! I made a huge batch of meatballs and spaghetti and 1/2 went into the freezer for lunches all week and onto our pizza last night and I made chicken cordon bleu casserole which is a recipe that actually doubles. So one for us and one for the freezer.
Sometimes I just don’t have the fortitude to put the meatballs away until they are all gone!!! *sigh*
Here’s some photos of the meatball making process. I do it differently from most folks. I cook mine in the sauce. No browning. And they are moist and YUMMY!
All the ingredients for Killer Meatballs.
Form them and roll them in flour, shaking off excess.
Drop them into the simmering sauce and gently stir to keep from sticking.
Oh man…are they good! Thanks, Dad!

We are having your Killer Meatballs next week! My mouth is already watering….sooooo good!
I’ve made meatballs maybe 2 times in the eight years I’ve been married. Thanks for the pictures – I’m going to try your “drop ’em in the sauce” method because that is so much simpler than the whole browning nonsense. Thanks for the recipe link. I love making big batches and freezing dinner-sized portions.
Thank you for the reminder Kate! I try to always have a bowl of vegetable soup (small or large) in the freezer just in case needed. I just looked & only had 1 :O. I was able to pull it out, add broth and more veggies to it and made a large pot of soup – took 1/2 to a family in need and put the other 1/2 in the frig (there’s a family I know who will need something Friday). Also, while making dinner for us tonight (homemade hamburger casserole), I made too much – so I’m cooking one and put one in the freezer for us at a later date or for when I need a quick meal to send to someone. Keep your blog/page coming – I faithfully read it!!!
