Why Meatballs Are Perfect for Meal Prep
Meatballs are one of the easiest high-protein dinner ideas to make ahead. You can use ground chicken, beef, turkey, or pork depending on your preference and what you have on hand.
They cook quickly, portion easily, and reheat well without drying out. Serve them with pasta, rice, potatoes, salad, veggies or in soup and you’ve got a balanced meal you’ll never get bored of.
And the best part? Make a batch ahead of time and you’ve got a healthy homemade meal ready whenever you need it.
Storing & Freezing Meatballs
Storing: Store cooked meatballs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4–5 days. You can also make the meatball mix ahead of time and store in the fridge so you can easily roll and cook the day of.
Freezing: Let meatballs cool completely, then freeze in a single layer before transferring to a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight.
Reheating: Reheat once thawed in the microwave, oven, or on the stovetop until warmed through. You can also reheat directly from frozen in sauce over low heat.
