Do You Freeze Meatballs Cooked or Uncooked

Meatballs make great freezer meals. They can be frozen either cooked or uncooked and keep well for up to 2 months. For super convenient and time saving meals, simply make a double batch of meatballs and freeze the extra!

Is it better to freeze meatballs before or after cooking?

It is easiest to cook your meatballs before you freeze them. This method makes it easier to defrost or you can just throw them right into your dish and defrost them while you are cooking. You want to make sure to cook them until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.

Can you cook uncooked meatballs from frozen?

Simply stir the frozen meatballs and sauce together in a casserole dish and bake, covered, for about 30 minutes and then bake them uncovered for another 10 to 15 minutes. Adjust the timing as necessary depending on the size of the meatballs.
