Italian Style Meatballs

What is it?

A 16-ounce frozen bag of fully cooked meatballs, these are made from beef and breadcrumbs, then flame-broiled and packed without sauce. That plain format gives you room to use them in tomato sauce, on subs, or alongside rice and vegetables without fighting a built-in glaze. Compared with some other Trader Joe’s frozen meatballs, these lean simple and neutral. The breadcrumb mixture helps keep the texture softer, while the broiled exterior adds a bit of browned surface. Since they’re already cooked, you can heat them in the microwave, oven, or a skillet.
