The Pioneer Woman- Meatballs

These meatballs are great.  They are NOT for spaghetti!  Imagine little miniature meatloaves that have lots of surface area to get brown and seared.

I made these up ahead of time and stopped right before dredging them in flour.  I put them on some parchment paper on cookie sheets, froze them for a couple of hours, and popped them into a freezer bag to save for later.  On cooking day, I took them out of the freezer that morning to thaw.  Then I just picked up with the flour, browning, sauce and cooking.  So delicious! 

Oh, and guess what I added to the sauce?  Of course- pureed roasted red pepper.  I just can't help it.
