March 9 - National Meatball Day



Happy National Meatball Day! On March 9th, we recognize one of the great American food holidays. 

It is not clear how this day got started, but who can resist the idea of celebrating National Meatball Day? There are many different ways to celebrate meatballs: 

  • • Lamb Meatballs 
  • • Meatball Pizza 
  • • Meatball Sub 
  • • Porcupine Meatballs (made with rice) 
  • • Spaghetti and meatballs 
  • • Swedish Meatballs 
  • • Turkey Meatballs 
  • • and the list goes on and on. 
There is a restaurant in New York that has fifty-four different kinds of meatballs! 

Not only do meatballs allow for variety, but they move from appetizer to side dish to the main dish quite easily. Meatballs can be made the night before and put in the crockpot, or days before and kept in the freezer. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

To celebrate, some restaurants give a free side order of meatballs, while others are donating money to homeless shelters. Cook yourself up your favorite meatballs or go out and order some from a restaurant near you!  

You can even try this tangy Apple Butter Meatball Sub recipe by visiting the website below. Share your favorite recipes with friends and family. They’re sure to ask for seconds!
