What it is
These are pre-cooked, seasoned meatballs made from a blend of beef and pork. The homestyle preparation suggests a traditional flavor profile, aiming for a satisfying, familiar taste. They come fully cooked, meaning they only need to be heated through before serving.

To heat, place the desired amount of meatballs in a skillet over medium heat with a little oil or butter. Stir occasionally until they are heated through, which typically takes about 8-10 minutes. Alternatively, you can heat them in a saucepan with your favorite sauce, simmering gently until hot. For a larger batch, spread them on a baking sheet and heat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, turning once.
