I am soooo glad you did meatballs! I freeze dried some when I first got my machine, I found that the size of the meatball made a HUGE difference in the end product! Thank you for participating again in the #freezedriedfebruary collaboration!
I agree! Size helped a lot for quick processing time also. Thanks for having me In this amazing collab!
Great idea, ready in no time for sauces, gravies, soups, and stews. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely! Or a quick appetizer I was thinking with the small ones. Neat outcome. Thank you!
Awesome Lisa! That gives me another idea to use the ground beef for instead of just ground beef. Great information!
Absolutely. I was impressed with the Italian meatballs. Guess I should have tried a Swedish meatball recipe lol. So amazing what we can do with this thing! Thanks Lisa!
Great idea! I wouldn't have thought to do meatballs! Thanks!
Thanks! Me either haha, I was making a batch and thought I’m gonna try this!
Great idea! I never considered freeze drying meatballs. I appreciate the input on flavor, texture and moistness of the seasoned Italian meatballs versus the straight beef meatballs. Thanks for the video!
Thank you! I don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner! Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for sharing your meatball experiment! How convenient to have these on the pantry shelf. It comes to mind how great these would be made with egg, cheese, and maybe heavy cream for extra moisture and kept on hand as Keto snacks!!!
Thank you for your kind comment. Oh yes! Perfect for that!
I’m still just floored that freeze dried food reconstitutes to flavor and texture. I’m so impressed. I love this idea to clear out the freezer and make shelf stable food
It’s insane right? I agree. It’s shelf stable and makes good whole food convenient! Thanks
Watched in full! Always enjoy your videos! So interesting! Meatballs...yummy!
Thank you Pete! You’re so kind! I was impressed with how they came out!
You're getting some good use from that freeze dryer!! Fun challenge!
Always. We love it. It amazes me every time we use it. I def prefer this to canned veggies. The Italian meatballs are so good and convenient! Thanks Rich!
Good to know information. We have about ten pounds of ground beef in the freezer. I think this would be a great way to use it up. I like using the jars also. Mylar bags have their place, but we already have a lot of jars. Thank you for your time.
Thank you! Yes you could make a whole ton of meatballs and burgers etc. I like the jars because I have them but also because I can see the food. If I can see it I’m more likely to use it. If that makes sense.
Thank you for this video! I haven't freeze dried much meat so I love seeing how to do it and how to reconstitute it.
You’re welcome. I haven’t either. I do know I prefer cooked meat vs raw. Makes it nice to have on hand and just reconstitute and heat up
You never know if it will work until you try. Thank you for taking us along on your experiment.
Exactly! Always try because you will be surprised! Thanks for coming along!
That’s awesome Lisa. By the time you add sauce etc to your plain meatballs they will be extra wonderful. I love freeze dried meat. We would eat it right from the can and way too much at once! Lol.
Take care! 🌺
Thanks Annette! So true! There is just something about the crunchy texture of freeze dried food…it’s addicting! Lol
Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
That is amazing, Lisa. Oh I now want a Freeze Dryer. Thank you for sharing
Thanks Tina! I hope you win one! They’re an investment but we have had this since 2021 and we have reduced food waste with it
Great idea for future meals. Thanks for sharing.
Sure is! Thank you!
Meatballs! What a great idea! I love this. Thank you for experimenting and taking us along.
Yes! Turned out good. Thanks for coming along with me!
As I watch these videos in this collaboration I'm just amazed at how many different items you can freeze. I need a freeze dryer.
People do tons of things with their freeze dryers. It is amazing. Hope you get one! Thanks
I bet the Italian are good. Thx for sharing
Thank you! They turned out great!
I liked that even though this was an experiment you still tried for a full load. I always wondered how meat would do in the freeze drier by it's self and now I know that it works great. I'm going to start doing this. Thank you.
Always a full load never half way. Machine works best that way. A lot of people do meat and I’ve been skeptical. I was impressed. Good luck and thank you!
Great idea! Putting in the time now to roll up full trays will certainly save time on busy nights. Thank you for posting.
Thank you! Absolutely, convenience food that is actually good. Worth it
Thank you for sharing. Thank you for taking the time to help those of us who are learning@❤
You’re so welcome. Thanks for your kind words. We are all always learning! Me too
I will have to give these a try! Thank you for the video!
Yes please do! Thanks for watching!
I am really looking forward to ordering my freeze dryer and using it like you do!!!
You’re gonna love it! We are practical people and really just want to preserve our garden harvest and make life easier. We also do leftovers and love having those on hand too! Reduces food waste so much! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your experiment and how well it worked. This is a great preservation option!
Thank you! It sure is! Happy to share what we learn
Great idea!!! Can't wait to try it!
Thank you! Gotta experiment to see how things turn out for sure!
Thank you for sharing your experiment with us! I'm happy they turned out well for you, too.
Thanks so much! Love trying new things in the freeze dryer!
Thank you for sharing this very informative meatball video. Great way to use ground beef and have a shelf ready ingredient for a quick meal. Thank you to Angela for hosting Freeze Dried February and to the amazing sponsors.
Yes it is I agree. And to have good food made quick is a bonus! Thanks for coming along!
It is amazing how you can preserve food. I am blown away how you can do this. So cool.
It really is very cool. Thanks Lisa!
What a great idea! I'm really enjoying all the fresh and new ideas through this month! I never would have thought to do meatballs, I would have thought them too dense! Thank you so much for doing this experiment!
Thank you! It always blows my mind to see what other people freeze dry. The meatballs are so good. Have a great day!
Wow... This was great, to see how you prepared and pre-froze the meat balls, then put them in the freeze dryer. I am glad that you should how to rehydrate them and what it looks like. This is awesome with so many ways to use meatballs. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for your kind comment! I feel it is important to show the whole process so people can gauge if this is something they want to do.
What a great idea! I will try it! TY for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Love it!!! I wanted to eat them right after the oven, yummy!!! Great job!!!
Thank you! Oh yea I did eat one right out of the oven!
The diversity of foods that can successfully be freeze dried is amazing. Thank you for sharing.
It truly is. Blows my mind all the time! Thank you!
That was awesome.
Thanks Lena! I’m always amazed by this machine!
Thank you for doing the experiment so we all could learn from this. I am learning so much this month and greatly appreciate your efforts and all involved.
Thanks for your kind comment! We appreciate you taking the time to come along with me on this!
Meatballs looked delicious! Thank you for sharing the two ways to making them and for participating In the freeze dried collaboration.
Thank you and glad you found it helpful!
thank you so much for sharing. can't wait to give it a try
Thank you! Happy freeze drying!
Thanks for sharing your experiment with us. I’m looking forward to start freeze drying.
Thanks for watching and your kind comment. I wish you the best. It’s a fun journey!
Thank you for sharing your experience with freezedrying meatballs. They look delicious and great addition to your pantry
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful. Thanks for stopping by!
I'm a new subscriber to your channel thanks to your participation in freezedriedFebruary 2024 collaboration! Nice to meet you! I love experiments - especially when I get to benefit from watching someone else's experiment results! Thanks for your video.
Hello and welcome! Nice to meet you! I agree - love experiments! Glad the results were beneficial! Happy you are here!
Thank you for the video. And thanks for rehydrating and giving us your opinion.
You’re welcome and thanks for watching!
Yum! What a great idea. They would be so handy to have on the shelf for pasta or soup.
Oh yes a great thing to have on hand for sure! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing your experiment with freeze drying meatballs. I'm glad they turned out great. I appreciate the ideas on how to use the meatballs in different dishes. This will make a meal quick and easy. I think it's amazing how freeze-dried food reconstitutes back to its texture and flavor. Thank you for participating in this year's Freeze Dried February!!
Thanks for coming along! I agree. It always amazes me too. So crazy. I once made sweet and sour meatballs with the Italian meatballs (ewww) I had on hand so I wanted to try to have some small plain ones for the pantry for those kinds of dishes.
What a great idea!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
This is awesome!! Freeze dry meatballs can some in handy for all kinds of things, Thank you for all the suggestions on how to make it work best.
Thanks so much! Very handy to have on hand for so many things quick! Glad you enjoyed it
I did enjoy this video. The side by side taste test was awesome! Knowing we can use our tried and try recipes in our freeze dryer has me thinking about all our family favorites. Thank you for the experiment.
Thank you! Yes definitely try all the family favorites! They surprise you. Appreciate you!
Loving this collaboration. ❤❤ thanks for the video !!
That’s great! Me too! Thanks for watching!
Great idea Lisa. This would be awesome to have on the shelf. Glad you showed how they turned out and tasted. Great job. Have a blessed night.
Thank you. I am glad I tried it. So many uses for shelf stable stuff. Have a great night
I've been craving meatballs for a few weeks! This made me want them even more. Thank you for sharing in this collaboration! 😃
Oh I feel that! I was craving them too so I made this batch! Thank you and happy freeze drying!
Thank you so much
Thank you!
I love it when people show us their experiments. I'm glad this one came out well.
It’s fun to experiment. Thanks for watching. Appreciate your kind words
Thank you for sharing. I am always so nervous when trying new things in my freeze dryer. Thank you for taking us along with your experiment, it really encourages me to do more.
I feel that way too. Then I am amazed. Or I can’t believe I didn’t think of it sooner. Haha. Thank you for watching and glad you found it encouraging! That’s what it is all about!
You’re giving me a lot of ideas. Thank you for sharing.
I’m glad. This is a great collaboration for ideas. Thank you
Great experiment. Thanks for taking us along. Good to know that adding seasonings, eggs, etc helps with the texture when reconstituting.
Thanks! And def keep them the smaller size too. I will be making these again!
I am just amazed at what you can freeze dry. I appreciate your honesty in what you will do differently next time. Thanks for sharing your experiment with us!😊
It still amazes me too. I will definitely do a recipe for Swedish or at the very least add some egg to make it less dense. Thanks for coming along!
So cool and ready for sauce. Thanks for the video and being part of the collaboration.
Practical fits us well! Thanks for coming along with me!
Wow, Thanks for sharing your recipe. I never thought of making meatballs.
Welcome! Thanks for coming by! I liked how they turned out
What a great convenience when not up to cooking much. Thank you
Absolutely it is! Thank you!
This looked like a very successful experiment. As we have not yet invested in a freeze dryer, learning how others utilize their equipment is really helping us understand the processes. We hope to be able to buy one by the end of 2024! Thank you so much for participating.
Thank you! Appreciate you coming along. Good for you! You’re going to love it!
These meatballs look amazing and such a great idea to freezedry them. If I was living in the location I wish and could afford it, a freezedrier would definitely be on my wishlist. 👍🏻
They turned out better than I thought that’s for sure. It’s wild what this machine can do. Thanks so much.
Great experiment. Something special on the shelf for a quick dinner.
Thank you! Yes it is. Perfect for quick homemade food!
I am saving up to get a freeze dryer and I will definitely try the meatballs when I get it. We like to go camping and having freeze-dried foods would be such space savers! Thank you for being a part of this collaboration!
A freeze dryer will be so good for meals like that. I recently saw someone use a stash of freeze dried food on a ski trip where a full kitchen was not available. The possibilities are endless. Thank you for watching! Good luck!
Success!!! That is really neat. I haven't yet decided that I want a freeze dryer. The cost is prohibitive. We went to a grand opening of a new farm store Saturday and they actually have them in stock in the store.
It’s really cool. I’m always amazed by it honestly. The cost is prohibitive I get it. I like that we are wasting less food and using it practically for what we use it for. They are in stores now which is cool.
Thank you for giving me some great ideas for freeze drying. I never considered meat. I also like that you reconstituted them and let us know which one was better. Thank you for the video.
You’re welcome and thanks for coming along! I don’t do a lot of meat but these worked well. Definitely add something to make them less dense like the Italian ones.
My husband loves meatballs so this is another good idea! Thanks for experimenting for us! They look amazing too !
Thank you! I like how they turned out! Have a great day!
Thank you for showing how some things will just have to be tried to see how they will work. I agree with you; the meatballs will be much less dense when cooked with the milk/eggs and other ingredients. Thanks for demonstrating what's involved with freeze drying meatballs.
Thank you for coming along! You have to try to see how it turns out. Yes dense was a better word for those little ones. The milk and egg really made a huge difference.
Another wonderful video on freeze drying! I make a mean homemade meatball and am adding this to my list of things to do once I get my freeze dryer! I am still mind blown with what you can freeze dry
Thank you for your kind words! Yes def do it. My mind gets blown every time I use this thing! I think oh it won’t be good and it is!
Oh and pineapple without reconstituting is to die for addictive!
What an AWESOME IDEA! 💡 When you were making the smaller meatballs my immediate thought was Make them EVEN SMALLER and have them shelf stable to make a quick Italian Wedding soup! Thank you so much for sharing and I’m glad that your “experiment” worked out! 😊
Thank you! And yes! Perfect for Italian wedding soup! If I were doing that I would add extra liquid to the soup and toss them right in. Have a great day!
Great experiment with the meatballs! Thank you!
Thank you! Have a great day!
What a great idea! Glad to know it worked!
Thank you! Me too!
Hello Lisa hope your having a beautiful day. I hope to get a freeze dryer one of these days.
Hello Lena! It’s a beautiful day! Hope your day is amazing! Maybe you will win one! Never give up
What a great idea. I've never known amine to freeze dry meatballs. Thank you for sharing this clever idea with all of us.
Thank you for your kind comment. It’s always fun to try something new.
I would love to have a freeze dryer I am impressed with the fact that you stored meatballs on the shelf without canning! great experiment!
Thank you! It’s a huge investment. I’m always blown away by how things turn out and taste just like before they were freeze dried!
Looks like you had a successful experiment. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks Carlene. I’m excited with how they turned out. Great for a quick meal.
What a great video I never thought of fd meatballs, but I will be trying them now! Thank you for sharing your hard work and knowledge. What a wonderful collaboration this has been.!
Thank you so much! We are so thrilled with how they turned out! Def try them! Thank you! It’s an amazing collab!
Thanks for Sharing
Dried meatballs
Have a nice
Day❤❤
Thank you! Same to you!
Great idea. I consistently make meatballs and have them in the freezer for a quick meal - I don’t know why I hadn’t considered freeze drying them! I can’t wait to try this. Thank you!!
I can’t believe I didn’t think of this sooner! So easy to do also. Thanks so much!
I always like to see how people use their dehydrated and freeze dried foods.
Thanks. I agree. I think it is important to show not only the preservation but the reconstituting part
Thanks for joining the collaboration. I really enjoyed seeing you work through an idea/experiment. It was a good thing you decided to add the Italian meatballs. The side by side tasting let you know not only that their recipe process was better but also that it worked being freeze dried.
Thank you for your kind comment. It’s important to show the process so those watching can get an idea of how it works. Also the side by side tasting.
What a great idea this will also be great for small batches of Togo soups
Absolutely great for to go soups! I would just toss them in the soup with a bit of extra liquid (broth etc). Thanks!
Interesting. This is a great way to prep meals for camping!
Yes it would be awesome to prep meals for camping with a lean protein source!
this is such a great idea to have on hand for quick meals.
Thank you! I agree. So versatile
I love the idea of freeze drying meatballs! I normally have a gallon bag frozen in my freezer. What a time saver not having to defrost hem and would save so much space in the freezer.
Thank you! Thats what I usually do with mine…freezer in a ziplock bag. It really makes it even more convenient! Have a great day!
Thank you for your video, I will definitely be doing meatballs when I get my freeze dryer in the next couple of weeks!
You’re welcome! Make sure to keep them a smaller size too…they rehydrate better. Happy freeze drying!
This is sa convenient for busy summer days thank you for the video
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
Interesting..........I have been following this and you came up. I have learned so much.
Thanks so much! So many great things to learn in this collab!
This was great never knew you could do meatballs. They looked soo good. Thanks for sharing your experiment and it worked too!
I think you could probably do anything! But I always think this may not work. Then it does! Thank you
Glad you made this video, I have wanted to know if you can freeze dry them. Thanks for taking part in freeze dry February!!
Thanks for coming along and glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, Lisa! Shared this one out! 😊👍💗
Thank you Tammy!
Very interesting.
Thanks. Worked well
I love it when people show their experiments. It's how I would use the freeze dryer when I get one.
Wonderful and glad you liked it! Yes it is all about finding what you like and works well! Thank you!
thanks for sharing this friend
Thanks for coming along!
Nice experiment! I'm looking forward to the giveaway. Still baffles me how convenient to would be to have stuff like this on the shelf.
Thank you! Yes still baffles me how good things turn out using this machine! So convenient too!
Good to know they rehydrated well.
Thanks. I was impressed. Have a great day
Love meatballs. Freezing is what I do now. I have tried canning them and didn't care for them. I will try freeze drying now. Thanks for sharing.
Same. We love them here too. I’m glad you said you didn’t care for canning them. There are a lot of things I don’t like canned. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this great post, it's going to take me at least a month to add all the recipes and ideas to my freeze dryer. . I love me some meatballs! I can't wait to try these. Would welcome your recipe for the Italian meatballs if you are willing to share.
Thank you! My recipe is a link in the description of the video. They came out so well! So many fun ideas to try!
Very fun
Thanks! I agree!
I keep seeing on the videos people saying the possibilities are endless. You proved that again. I wouldn’t have thought to freeze dry meatballs. Thank you!
I don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner. The possibilities are really endless. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the idea. This is going to free up some freezer space.
Yes it will! Thank you
