To heat, place the desired amount of meatballs in a skillet with your favorite sauce. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are heated through and the sauce is bubbling. Alternatively, you can heat them in a microwave-safe dish with sauce, covered, on high power for 2-3 minutes, or until hot. For oven heating, spread meatballs in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until heated through. They can also be added directly to simmering sauces.
