24 Must-Make Meatball Recipes

24 Must-Make Meatball Recipes

Although meatballs are totally appropriate year-round, I love to make big batches of meatballs this time of year when the days turn colder. Not only are they easy to make, but they are economical and versatile. Now that fall is here I’ve rounded up 24 meatball recipes to try through the colder months. Serve them as game-day appetizers, Sunday supper, or freeze a batch for quick weeknight dinners – there are so many great choices. I hope you find a new recipe to try!
