I usually put mine in those suction bags six to a sleve 3 on each side--I don't cook them until ready to use. When ready I defrost them and put parchment paper on my cookie sheet and back the or you can use a rack-when they are browned I then put them in the sauce for about 20 mins to 30 mins-I also do this with sausage but I piece the skin before baking them.

I use very lean meat and drop them raw into the sauce to cook. I make them about 1 1/2 inch diameter. They are very flavorful this way and add flavor to the sauce also.

Yep, this is how I make mine. My parents were born, raised, and married in Italy before they moved here.
My mom never heard of baking them and then placing them in the sauce. That is where all the flavor comes from by dropping them in raw. Yes, the grease comes to the top and we skim it off with no problem.

I put them on a cookie sheet sprayed lightly with olive oil and bake them, then drain away all the fat.

I bake mine till done, then put them flat in freezer bags till frozen all the way so they don't stick together, and then I can move the bags around and not worry that I'll have a GIANT "monkey" frozen meatball (like monkey bread) LOL.

This is how I do mine also. Use a crockpot and simmer all day.

I buy mine in a large bag from Sam's. How sad is that?

Wow...I may try that! Not sad at all!

Make my meatballs a about 2" Put them in a lg cast iron fry pan in oven on 400 to brown turning as needed ( I have to do this a few times for my lg batches). Then freeze what I am not using that day. I finish off the cooking in the sauce. When I make meatballs I usually make up about 10 lbs of meat. I freeze in 1 layer diffeerent size bags so they are a quick easy meal at other times.

This is the way I do it too. Come out soooo good :D
