'My husband and I have company often,' relates Ruth Andrewson of Leavenworth, Washington. 'Keeping a supply of these frozen meatballs on hand means I can easily prepare a quick, satisfying meal. I start with a versatile meatball mix that makes about 12 dozen meatballs, then freeze them in batches for future use.'
