Notes

How to reheat meatballs:
Reheat meatballs easily on the stovetop, oven or microwave. If reheating frozen meatballs try to allow them to thaw 24 hours before.
If reheating on the stovetop, put the meatballs into a pan with the extra sauce and reheat on low/medium.
If reheating in the oven, place the meatballs on a baking sheet or dish sprayed with nonstick spray. Reheat on 350 for about 10 minutes to get them heated throughout.
If using the microwave, you can reheat a couple thawed meatballs in about 2 minutes.
