That's how I always buy my meatballs.
They're good for a quick meal or when I've forgotten to get something out.
We really like meatball sandwiches for a weekend lunch or a light dinner.....served with fried onions & peppers and a salad.
The first time I saw this one I thought it sounded kind of odd. However, it's become a favorite around here.

ETA: I had to edit the temp for the Meatball Casserole. I'm sure it was obvious, but I hit the zero too many times & told you to bake it at 3500 degrees.
