101 Things To Do With Meatballs - Stephanie Ashcraft
Helpful Hints
Welcome to the wonderful world of meatballs! Now, more than ever, families are faced with a common problem: our hectic lives leave very little time for preparing nutritious, well-balanced meals. As a mom of four, I had the challenge of fitting my love for cooking and my desire to feed my family nutritiously into my busy schedule. I applied my knowledge and experience with food preparation and eventually developed the 101
cookbook concept.
This book provides you with 101 delicious recipes, all made with a comfort food favorite—meatballs! I hope you’ll find that with so many simple, delicious, and nutritious recipes, everyone’s appetite will be appeased.
Meatballs are such a versatile food and so easy to prepare. As a mom, I put love into every meal I make. That means I make sure to serve high--quality meatballs to my family and guests. I don’t have time to make meatballs from scratch, so I buy frozen, fully cooked meatballs in a big bag from the store. There are lots of brands that you can choose from. Unfortunately, some of them are not so tasty. To help with your shopping, I’ve listed several hints to let you know which brands have worked the best for me, as well as my tips on thawing and cooking.
1. Choose a brand you recognize. For some large manufacturers, meatballs are simply a by-product of their other meat businesses. Make sure to pick a brand that specializes in meatballs, such as Casa Di Bertacchi® and Farm Rich,® to ensure you always have a high-quality selection.
2. Choose the flavor you crave. The most common flavors of meatballs are original (also known as home-style), Italian-style, and Swedish. My favorite is the Casa Di Bertacchi® Italian-style meatballs as well as Farm Rich® Original and Italian-Style meatballs. Their seasonings don’t overpower the other flavors in the recipes. Plus, both of those brands make meatballs the same way Italians have been making them for generations—seared, and then steamed until fully cooked.
3. Choose the right size meatball. I used Casa Di Bertacchi® 5/8-ounce meatballs in every recipe. Farm Rich® also makes a great 1/2-ounce size. A conversion chart has been included for your convenience. Most recipes in this book are better suited for an appetizer-size meatball, such as 1/2 ounce (as Farm Rich® makes) or 5/8 ounce (as Casa Di Bertacchi® makes).

4. Choose your desired blend of meat. Many people prefer to buy meatballs made with 100 percent beef, such as those made by Casa Di Bertacchi.® However, a beef and pork blend (like Farm Rich® meatballs) tastes nearly identical and can be less costly. Turkey is another option that will also work in these recipes.
5. Choose a good-size bag. Because meatballs are such a versatile food, I recommend keeping a big bag of them in your freezer at all times. Casa Di Bertacchi® currently sells 6-pound bags in club stores and Farm Rich® offers a 2-pound bag.
6. Thaw meatballs properly. Frozen meatballs should be thawed in the refrigerator, or they can be thawed using the defrost function on a microwave.
7. Cook the meatballs properly. While frozen meatballs are already fully cooked, they should be reheated to at least 160 degrees to ensure they are safe for eating. Heating meatballs can be done by baking, micro-waving, heating in a sauce, or even grilling. My favorite way to reheat a meatball
