Notes
Using frozen foods in a way that make them more homemade is a great way to optimize the freezer as well as making a unique meal with less time. This recipe was being written in a time that everyone is stuck at home and therefore meat is at a scarcity - so do not be afraid to experiment with products you normally wouldn't buy and make them even better! Serve these meatballs and sauce right over egg noodles or fettuccine noodles. So good!!
