Weis Italian Style Meatballs
What it is
These are pre-cooked, seasoned meatballs made with a blend of beef and pork. They are shaped into uniform spheres and have a savory Italian-inspired flavor profile. They are ready to be heated and served, saving time in the kitchen.
How people cook with it
These meatballs are a versatile addition to many dishes. They can be easily incorporated into weeknight dinners or served as appetizers.
- Simmer in marinara sauce
- Add to pasta dishes
- Serve as an appetizer
- Include in subs and sandwiches
To heat, place the desired amount of meatballs in a saucepan with your favorite sauce, such as marinara or a creamy Alfredo. Simmer over medium-low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are heated through. Alternatively, they can be heated in a microwave-safe dish with sauce for 2-3 minutes, or baked in a single layer on a baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to homemade meatballs, these offer significant time savings. Their consistent size and pre-cooked state ensure even heating. The Italian seasoning blend is already incorporated, providing a ready-made flavor that can be enhanced with additional spices or herbs.

How to keep the rest
