Hey, nb! I don't know if I've got any good recipes -- including some
bulk Italian sausage in the mixture is kinda nice -- but I like to cook
my meat-a-balls by arranging about a dozen or so in a glass pie plate,
around the perimeter. Nuke for about 3 minutes, drain, cool, and freeze
loose, then bag for further use whenever. Drop the frozen ones into
spaghetti sauce and let them thaw in there.
