Cooking Instructions

Raw. Cook to an internal temperature of 160ºF.

OVEN METHOD:
1) Thaw meatballs in the fridge overnight
2) Preheat oven to 400ºF.
3) If you wish, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. If using aluminum foil or no lining, brush the tray lightly with olive oil. Place meatballs on the baking sheet approximately 2" apart.
4) Bake for 20-25 minutes until meatballs are browned on the outside and the inside reaches an internal temperature of 160ºF. Shake the tray part way through cooking to allow meatballs to rotate.
5) Serve as is, or with your favourite tomato sauce!

FRIED AND SIMMERED:
1) Thaw meatballs in the fridge overnight
2) Heat your desired tomato sauce in a large pot on the stove at medium-low heat.
3) Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat.
4) Add enough meatballs to comfortably fit in the skillet without crowding and cook, turning and rolling occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
5) Add meatballs to warm sauce. Repeat with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil and remaining meatballs.
6) Cook meatballs in sauce (they should be mostly submerged) at a gentle simmer, carefully scraping bottom of pot and adding a splash of water if sauce begins to stick, until meatballs are cooked through and tender and sauce tastes rich and meaty, approximately 40–50 minutes. Ensure the interior of the meatballs reaches a temperature of 160ºF before serving.

AIR FRIED:
Air fryers can vary, so we recommend that you please refer to the manufacturer's instructions on your air fryer for directions and always test the internal temperature of the meatball to ensure it has reached at least 160ºF for safe consumption.
