Which kind of meat should I opt for?
While I utilized beef here, you can utilize any sort of meat that you like.
Chicken, Turkey, and sheep are additionally extraordinary choices.
Remember that on the off chance that you utilize a lean kind of meat like chicken, turkey, or lean beef, it’s ideal to mix it with fattier meat like pork, lamb, or normal grounded meat.
This will adjust the dampness to guarantee you don’t wind up with dry meatballs.

Can I freeze it?
Yes you can! Allow the meatballs to chill off to room temperature and store in an impermeable holder.
I like to store this recipe in independently measured compartments to make defrosting simpler.
These meatballs will last as long as 90 days frozen.
What to do with leftovers?
Store these in the cooler in an impermeable holder for 3-4 days.
They are ideal for reheating in the microwave!

Go ahead and add an additional sprinkle of meat stock if the sauce has thickened up something over the top.

Corrie I don’t understand
In step 5 you say “ take out the meatballs” and again in step 9. I’m confused is a step missing.
Fixed. Thank you for mentioning 🙂
You mention not to omit nutmeg and allspice, but they are not listed in ingredients or instructions. How much of each, and do you add to meat or to sauce?
