Cooking tip
- Make the meatballs into equal sizes, to ensure they are cooked evenly. Also great with pork mince.
- Freezing Guidelines: This finished recipe is suitable for freezing. Transfer the cooked recipe to an airtight container, leave to cool prior to sealing. For best results use within 1 moth of freezing.
