Yes, I think that could definitely work. You have two choices with the meatballs - form them and freeze uncooked, then defrost and cook as usual. If you do this, make sure you don't use frozen pork as you don't want to re-freeze if it's not cooked. The other option is to cook the meatballs then freeze them, then defrost and heat them up when you need them. In both cases, I'd suggest you put the meatballs on a baking sheet to freeze then transfer to a freezer bag once frozen. And just make the sauce shortly before serving rather than freezing it (it can still be made a day ahead, but I wouldn't recommend freezing it). Hope you enjoy!

Thanks, Kathleen - pork is definitely worth trying for something different. You could use regular basil if you can't get Thai basil - it's not quite the same taste but gien it is combined with other flavors I think it would work fine here.

I will have to try pork. Your meatballs sound yummy, although I'm not sure where I would find Thai Basil where I live. They are pretty generic here.

I love the two ways because I can make it for dinner for the the kids and then take them to my football tailgating party as finger food! Genius! Thanks for sharing with Saucy Saturdays!

And, your recipe is certainly going to be a hit at the fiesta this week. I especially like the freshness from the lime zest and Thai basil. It's great how you can adapt the meatballs for an appetizer or a main force as well. Thank you so much for bringing these to FF, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend! 😀

Thanks, Cynthia, meatballs are easy, I would definitely recommend trying. Yes you could substitute chicken or turkey but they don't have quite as much flavor; I think the pork works particularly well but they would work too. Happy FF to you too!

Would it work if I make them with turkey or chicken instead? Happy FF and thanks for sharing! Oh and have a fabulous weekend! 🙂
