This recipe is such a smart way to use up leftovers. I love how simple the ingredients are and how easily you can swap the meatballs for chicken or tuna, depending on what you have on hand. It sounds like an easy filling meal that the whole family would enjoy especially on a busy night.

Oh wow, this is something different! Sometimes those thrown together meals, turn out perfectly- thanks for sharing.
We are planning to have meatloaf (which are shaped into mini meatballs) later this week, so will keep this recipe in mind for the leftovers.
These would be good both warm/hot with simple salad or added to lunchboxes for cold snacking.

Great idea for a snack or lunch box item. I love these, they sound really good and something enjoyable for the kids and filling. I also like that this is a dish you could make in advance and put int he freezer to pull out when needed. I reckon they would take delicious with the right cheese.

Thanks again for sharing such a good and clever idea for using up leftovers. I felt inspired and made up some savoury treats over the weekend which included using up a wide range of leftovers. The end result was tasty and full of flavour meals and savoury food for all .

Thanks so much for sharing this clever and creative recipe. It really is such a good idea to use leftovers in recipes and not have any wastage. It makes very good economic sense to use leftovers when cooking. These savoury ,meat, pasta and cheese balls do sound delicious to eat hot or cold.

Thanks for sharing your recipe. You’re lucky your kids eat these type of cold bites as a lunch box filler. I’m afraid my kids pull their noses up and wouldn’t eat these nor cold pies or quiches. I’ve only one child left at primary school and luckily she is easy and enjoys a Vegemite sandwich, fruits, plain yogurt, nuts, etc. I always use seeded protein rich bread what makes it a bit more healthy too

I’ve started preparing for back-to-school madness by filling the freezer with healthy lunches & snacks. These Meatball Mac & Cheesies are a winner with the kids. Healthy, filling & full of flavour.
