- Serve in subs or sandwiches

- Toss into salads
To prepare, simply heat the meatballs thoroughly. They can be warmed in a skillet over medium heat, in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, or even in a microwave. Once heated, they can be added directly to simmering pasta sauces, layered into sandwiches, or served as a standalone appetizer with a dipping sauce. For a more elaborate dish, they can be incorporated into stews or baked casseroles.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain chicken meatballs, these are pre-seasoned with distinct sundried tomato and roasted garlic notes. This flavor profile offers a more complex taste than unseasoned varieties and sets them apart from meatballs made with other herbs or spices. The inclusion of sundried tomatoes also adds a slight chewiness and concentrated sweetness.
