To heat, place the frozen meatballs in a saucepan with your favorite marinara or tomato sauce. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are heated through. Alternatively, you can bake them in a single layer on a baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until hot. They can also be added directly to simmering soups or stews during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking to absorb the flavors of the broth.
