1 Minute Meatballs

Recipe #11361 | 13 min | 5 min prep | SERVES 3 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Bergy

This is a real short cut for cooks in a hurry. Use the cooked sausage bits like you would any meatball. In soups, stews, spaghetti, casseroles or as an appetizer with a sauce. Cheating? Not really just using a good shortcut.

    I have done this for years, especially with the Italian sausages. It's fabulous. It's easy to lay them on a papertowel to drain the fat off. The add them to any dish. Great idea. Thanks for posting it.

    I have a secret- I can not make a meatball to save my life. I found this recipe and decided to try it out. What great results. I addded half this to a container of spagetti sauce I was freezing for later, and used the rest to make meatball subs. Yummy and so easy! This is so versitile and could be used in many different dishes. Thanks so much for sharing!
