Meatball Sandwiches
Storage tip: You can prepare the meatballs up to 2 months in advance. After forming the raw meatballs, place them on a baking sheet or other pan and freeze thoroughly, about 2 hours. Transfer to an airtight container. Before using, defrost the meatballs in the refrigerator overnight.
