We do LOTS of bulk cooking because our family of seven always seems to be eating  but momma doesn’t always want to be cooking, and it’s important to us (and to our budget) to prepare home cooked meals as often as possible.  Our five kiddos are pretty picky and all seem to have different tastes so it feels a lot like hitting the lottery when we find a dish that always pleases everyone.  These meatballs are on that short list of lottery recipes so we like to double the recipe below and make an even bigger batch to put away in the freezer because they still go fast.

The combination of bacon and cheese in these meatballs keeps them moist and makes them so flavorful that they’re perfect on their own, with pasta, or with dipping sauce as an appetizer.  I also love that these meatballs are baked and not fried since that saves a lot of time in front the stove.  Freeze meal sized portions in freezer bags and you’ll have some easy home cooked meals ready to go when you need them!
