Italian Style Meatballs
Description
These savory meatballs work perfectly for meal-prepping ahead and storing in the freezer. Of course, you can also make them and bake them up fresh after pouring over a jar of marinara sauce. Serve over pasta with a simple side salad and garlic bread. Enjoy!

Instructions
-
Place breadcrumbs or bread slices and milk in a large mixing bowl and soak for 30 minutes. Add ground meat and gently mix. Add remaining ingredients and mix together until well combined. (be careful not to over mix.)
Roll small balls (about 2 teaspoons) with the meat mixture and place onto a baking sheet ½ inch apart. Bake meatballs for 18 to 20 minutes or until they’re completely cooked through.
*If you're preparing the meatballs ahead for freezer meal prep, freeze the meatballs on a baking sheet after rolling them. After about 2 hours, store the meatballs in a gallon freezer storage bag. Optionally, you can store and freeze the meatballs in the glass baking dish that you'll use to bake in later.
To serve: Pour a jar of marinara over the meatballs and bake at 400 degrees until bubbling and cooked through. Serve over pasta.
