Can you make this with fresh meatballs?
I love the convenience of using frozen meatballs for this recipe, but you can use fresh if you prefer. Brown the meatballs in a skillet first before placing them on the sheet pan and topping with the sauces.
Bake until the meatballs are cooked all the way through.

These meatballs are best served straight out of the oven, and there’s so little to prep there’s not much you can do ahead of time!
If you do have leftovers, they will keep covered in the fridge for up to 4 days and can be reheated in the oven.
