Food Question

[Sonlight]

We had meatball hoagies the other night... I made them with FROZEN ALL-READY COOKED meatballs, added the sauce, etc.... now we have a ton left over, sooooooooooooooooooo

Can I freeze the leftovers ????????????????

I wish I had an answer for you. I'm really not sure. When I make meatballs from previously frozen ground beef I never freeze the leftovers. I keep them in the fridge and we use them for lunches or for a "potluck" leftovers night, which we usually do once a week.

On the other hand, lots of my husband's relatives cook meatballs and sausage from previously frozen meat and then they freeze the leftovers. I'm sure it wouldn't be harmful to re-freeze the meatballs, but I wonder if it could change the taste. Sorry I couldn't help you. Hopefully someone here will have the answer.

Yes, you can refreeze the leftovers. WE do this all the eime in the cafeteria I work in.

:nod I've done this and refrozen them before. Sure makes a nice quick fix dinner, huh?

I thought you were going to invite us to dinner.

The meatballs are already cooked, so should be fine to refreeze. It's when meat is raw, frozen, and thawed that you don't want to refreeze.

Me too. I was all set to head out the door . . .
