Remove from sheet and place in a freezer safe container. Store in the freezer for 1 to 2 months. Defrost: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place frozen meatballs on parchment lined, rimmed cookie sheet. Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until hot. Alternatively, place frozen meatballs in pasta sauce, covered, and allow to heat up in the sauce.
