Notes
Refrigerate: After enjoying your venison meatballs, you can store the leftovers in the refrigerator. Simply place them in a sealed container and refrigerate for up to two days.
Freeze: If you have uncooked venison meatballs, you can freeze them for up to one month. To do this, arrange the meatballs on a baking sheet and freeze. Once frozen, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag. This prevents the meatballs from sticking together, making it easier for you to thaw only what you need.
Thawing: When you're ready to enjoy your frozen venison meatballs, let them thaw in the refrigerator. Once they're thawed, bake as directed in the recipe.
Reheating: If your venison meatballs have been cooked and stored in the refrigerator, you can reheat them on the stovetop or in the oven. For the stovetop, place them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through. In the oven, bake at a low temperature until warm.
