Freezer meatballs taste horrible. Can you find time to buy 2 lb. gr. beef and a ';Meat Loaf'; seasoning packet (in the spices aisle). Follw the directions but instead of meat loaf, make meat balls. saves time in doing a meatball recipe. Have fun!
it's called.....in the freezer section at the store.





I like to put those mini hot dogs and meatballs in the crock pot with some Montgomery Inn bbq sauce. yum
