Meatballs

Delicious little balls of meat made from beef, pork, or a combination of meats. Meatballs can be baked, fried, or broiled. They can be served alone, with pasta and sauce such as the famous "spaghetti with meatballs", in gravy or white sauce, and even on sandwiches! Meatballs can be made ahead and frozen for later use. Don't have time to make them from scratch? No problem, we have recipes using pre-made or frozen meatballs too.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
