==== Meatballs ==== I like meatballs so much, I made a category on the site just Meatballs. In Thailand I make a lot of meatballs, mainly pork and chicken. Since I am in the US on a vacation currently, I am adding some meatball recipes that I will be using store bought. Store bought will be store brands, the frugal in me, and will be Walmart Great Value Brand and Kroger Brand. //When I return home to Thailand, I will be making all the meatballs I use and I will be testing a few items to allow me to do that easier.// Also listed is recipes that are to make meatballs or use them. ---- {{ :meatball_homestyle.jpeg?200|}} ==== Great Value Brand ==== **Homestyle** * Size of package bought was 48 oz / 3 lb / 1.36 kg. * Average meatball size 14 grams / 1/2 ounce each. * 92 meatballs in the package. * To heat up from frozen for addition to a sauce, microwave 30 meatballs on a plate in a single layer, covered, for 2 minutes, roll them, then heat for another 1 minute, then add to your choice of sauce.
