To heat, you can use a skillet, oven, or microwave. In a skillet, heat them over medium heat with a little oil or sauce until warmed through. For oven preparation, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes. In the microwave, place them on a microwave-safe plate and heat on high for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Ensure they are heated thoroughly before serving. They can be added directly to simmering sauces or soups.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to raw meatballs, these are fully cooked, significantly reducing preparation time. The organic certification means the ingredients are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, which is a difference from conventional meatballs. The homestyle preparation aims for a traditional, savory flavor profile.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should be consumed within 3-4 days. For longer storage, they can be frozen in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. Thaw frozen meatballs in the refrigerator before reheating.
