What Pasta Should I Serve With Meatball Casserole
While beef meatballs are usually best on top of spaghetti, this is one of those casserole recipes that you serve with any type of pasta. Or, for a really fun twist, pick up some crusty loaves of bread from the store to make meatball sandwiches instead!
Can I Freeze Beef Meatballs
Yes! Meatballs freeze beautifully. It’s easy to prepare a large batch of beef meatballs. You can use what you need to make this easy casserole recipe and freeze the rest for another meal. Meatballs can be frozen raw or after browning them. If you decide to brown them first, allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes so that they’re easier to manage. Arrange the beef meatballs in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then transfer it into the freezer. Once the meatballs are frozen, you can place them into a gallon-sized freezer bag or freezer-safe container. Raw meatballs can stay in the freezer for up to four months, but cooked meatballs will only keep well for three months.
How Do I Store Leftover Casserole
Leftover meatball casserole can safely be left in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you won’t be using it up during that time, consider freezing the leftovers for future use. Divide the leftover casserole into meal-sized portions and place them into airtight freezer-safe containers or heavy-duty freezer bags. The cooked meatball casserole will keep well in the freezer for up to three months. The casserole recipe is adapted from Martha Stewart. I absolutely love the mozzarella cheese that melts on top of the beef meatballs. They really do make all the difference.
