Meatballs with rice - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of meat for the meatballs?

Yes, you can substitute minced beef with chicken, turkey, pork, or even a plant-based meat alternative for a different flavor or dietary preference.

What can I use instead of breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version?

For a gluten-free option, replace breadcrumbs with almond meal, gluten-free oats, or crushed gluten-free crackers.

How long can I store leftover meatballs in the fridge?

Leftover meatballs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Can I make these meatballs vegetarian?

Absolutely! Swap the minced meat for lentils, mashed beans, or a meat substitute, and use a flax egg instead of a regular egg to bind the mixture.

What’s the best way to reheat the meatballs?

Reheat meatballs in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or in the microwave on medium power for 1-2 minutes, covered.

Can I freeze the meatballs for later use?

Yes, cooked meatballs freeze well. Place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.

What sides pair well with these meatballs?

Serve with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, a fresh salad, or crusty bread for a complete meal.

Can I cook these meatballs without an oven?

Yes, you can pan-fry them in a bit of oil over medium heat, turning occasionally, until cooked through (about 10-12 minutes).

How can I make the sauce thicker?

For a thicker sauce, mix in a teaspoon of cornstarch or flour with the sour cream and mayonnaise before adding water.
