With warmer weather comes a busier schedule and less time at home. When it’s nice out, the outdoor sports kick into gear, we spend more time at the lake, hiking and we just have less time together in the evenings. Needless to say, dinnertime becomes harder and harder to squeeze in, especially as the kids get older. My whole family loves meatballs and we recently discovered Cooked Perfect Fresh Meatballs, which are delicious and make for even faster dinner prep. One of our favorite ways to eat them is with my Easy Meatball Stuffed Shells!
I’m all about quick and easy meals that the kids will actually eat! When it’s warmer out, I especially like faster meals because that means less time in the kitchen over the stove or oven. These stuffed shells come together in 30 minutes and taste like a fun and yummy take on lasagna. You have the same components in a different form!
Cooked Perfect Fresh Meatballs are fresh and fully cooked for a convenient dinner, and they can be heated in the microwave, stove or oven! These meatballs come in a microwavable Steam in Pouch that lets you have moist, flavorful meatballs in about two minutes! So for a truly fast meal, go for the microwave method!
Cooked Perfect Fresh Meatballs come in 6 flavors:
- Italian Style Beef & Pork
- Korean BBQ Beef & Pork
- Sundried Tomato & Roasted Garlic Chicken
- Italian Style with Parmesan & Mozzarella Chicken
- Spinach and Feta with Parmesan & Mozzarella Chicken Meatballs
- Taco Seasoned Glazed Beef and Pork Meatballs
For my Easy Meatball Stuffed Shells I use the Italian Style Beef & Pork flavor, but you could totally use the switch up the flavor for one of the other Italian-inspired flavors.
