On top of spaghetti...

One of the boy's favorite things is spaghetti and meatballs.  And when I have some spare time on my hands (which is rarely), I make some homemade meatballs using a basic recipe and substituting regular breadcrumbs for GF breadcrumbs or GF panko breadcrumbs.

But when I saw THESE in the frozen food section of my local grocer, I immediately snatched them up!



Holy convenient meatball batman!

To say I was excited would be an understatement!  My mind began racing - I can put them in a crockpot with sauce for GF meatball sandwiches, served on Udi's awesome GF buns...or maybe with some toothpicks and marinara for a quick, easy appetizer dish!  I know - topped with mozzarella cheese and baked with GF penne for a delicious ziti dish.  Oh! The possibilities! 


 All from this little frozen bag sent from the wonderful folks at Cooked Perfect.



GF MAMA TIP:  Convenience foods such as this bag GF meatballs may be a little more costly up front, but when you can stretch over several meals, it's well worth the expense.  We will get at least three meals for a family of three out of this one bag of meatballs!   

 
  
I threw these frozen GF Cooked Perfect Meatballs in with a jar of my favorite pasta sauce and let me tell you, this was one delicious bowl of spaghetti!!  These meatballs were so moist!!!  Delicioso!  (sorry to all my Italian friends if I spelled that one incorrectly). 

And a new family favorite was crowned!  Congratulations Cooked Perfect!  




Does your family have a "Family Favorite" GF product?

  2. Just picked these up at the store to have on hand for a night when I don't feel like cooking or don't have the time. Thanks for the recommendation. I wasn't familiar with this product.

    2. These were a huge hit with the gluten and non- gluten eaters. Thanks for the recommendation- I wouldn't have picked them up otherwise!
