Using local meats really enhances the flavor of these meatballs! A smaller meatball can be made as an appetizer portion and held warm in a crockpot. I use a cookie scoop to ensure uniform size. These meatballs freeze like a dream-raw or cooked. I usually make a big batch so I have a stash for a future date with no hassle!
