The meatball soup recipes use a half-recipe of meatballs.

Freeze about 30 minutes or until firm.

Transfer meatballs to resealable freezer bags or freezer containers.

Seal and freeze for up to 3 months.

Thaw in the refrigerator before using.

Do not lift or transport foil with food inside; dispose after.
