How to Store the Keto Beef Meatballs
Since meatballs are made of minced meat, the best way to preserve them for a long is to freeze them. But before you do that, place the meatballs in cake tins or similar storage containers. Then pack these containers inside plastic bags and seal them. Next, place these sealed bags in the deep freezer. This way, you can store your meatballs for three months.
