Instead of a marinara sauce, try a jarred Tikki masala sauce with the meatballs and serve over rice.

Why do people post nasty things for no reason?

OP - my go-to for meatballs, frozen or thawed, is to simmer them in marinara sauce for about 30 mins until heated through.

1. Have you never heard of an impulse buy? 2. How would I know it's nasty until I've tasted it? 3. I am trying to broaden what I cook for dinners. This seemed like an option. If it's good, I can replace chopped meat with these, and be healthier.

I just microwave them with some sauce. Great for a quick pasta dinner or meatball sub for hhungry teenager.

Pesto (Kirkland from Costco, or the vegan one from Trader Joe's isn't bad if you're already there) + pasta + a squeeze of lemon.

Just warm them up in a pan. Can do marinara sauce and serve with pasta or do chicken meatball sandwiches (my youngest loves this - toast some brioche slider buns and add the meatballs and sauce with some mozzarella and provolone to melt in the oven). Can also add a BBQ sauce or a teriyaki/SoyVey sauce and serve with rice and veggies kind of like a stir fry.

If you have an air fryer it is a great way to heat them in 5 minutes. I usually serve them plain to my kids.

They are totally fine. I just microwave, or cook in sauce if I have time. I even eat as a protein with asian sauces, and again it is totally fine. Nothing fancy but tastes good.

I left them defrost and then heat them with sauce in a pan. Great for a quick meal. Ignore prior poster who obviously has never had them.

Not sure what I was thinking when I bought them, but here we are. They are apparently already cooked? How do you mix them into a meal?
