A versatile recipe that’s made with minimal ingredients.
It’s that time of year again when we start thinking about (finally) getting organized and starting – or getting back to – meal prepping on a regular basis so it’s only fitting that we’d share these Ultimate Meal Prep Meatballs with you today. Just like their name implies, these are the ULTIMATE when it comes to meal prepping because they’re easy, delicious, versatile, and quick-to-cook. And they’re great with just about any side you can image – salad, stir fry, roasted veggies, mashed or baked potatoes, even eggs for a protein-packed breakfast or ‘brinner’.
There’s nothing dry or flavorless about these Ultimate Meal Prep Meatballs.
Meatballs are great…until they’re not. Dry meatballs are a drag and flavorless meatballs aren’t fun either so that’s why we’ve teamed up with our friends at Tessemae’s to create the ultimate meal prep meatballs using their Organic Creamy Ranch Dressing to keep them tender and juicy and infuse them with flavor.
Exercise your options.
We know you like options (and so do we!) so feel free to mix things up by swapping out the ranch dressing Organic Everything Bagel Ranch or Organic Creamy Caesar to keep it interesting since we know you’ll be putting these on meal prep repeat. Need an egg-free option? Swap out the ranch dressing for Tessemae’s Pantry Classic Italian, Balsamic Vinaigrette, or Ranch Vinaigrette for a delicious change of pace without the eggs.
