I said the perfect meatballs are made along WITH the sauce.
BUT if you already have sauce, and just want to make meatballs, you can nuke them.
My sauce is always made with meatballs and sausage, I make 6 quarts at a time, and make lasagna the same day. Then, I portion control the rest of the sauce in containers and freeze it for later use. So when I want to make meatballs and macaroni or chicken parm, I just take a container out and thaw it in the fridge.
I also portion-control and freeze the leftover lasagna. A full lasagna tray will last for 4 meals for 2 people (8 meals total). The leftover sauce will last another 8 meals for each of us (16 meals total).
Total cost for the pot of sauce and the lasagna - around $50. Total yield on that $50 - 24 meals.
