The meatballs can easily be reheated or eaten cold. I also hold some back before cooking and they will last in the fridge for a couple of days so I can just cook them as needed for a hassle free weeknight meal. But, they smell really good when they're cooking, so good luck if you can save any!!Alternatively, you can oven bake these meatballs, but I prefer to pan-fry them to get a tasty brown outside - just make sure they are cooked all the way through
