Q: How many meatballs are in one bag?
submitted by kc - 1 year ago
A: Hi there. Thanks for your question. These Gardein Classic Meatless Meatballs contain about 4 servings of 3 meatballs each. They should contain about 12 meatballs, but are filled by weight to ensure there is a total of 12.7oz or 360g in the package, so this may vary by a meatball or two. We hope this helps!

I love these! Gardein hit a home run with their meatless meatballs! Makes dinner easy! Very versatile, too! Meatballs, gravy and mash, spaghetti and meatballs, meatball sub, sweet sour bites….so good. I like them cooked, chilled, then sliced on a sandwich. Definitely recommend!

These are so good. They do take a little while to cook in the sauce when cooking on the stove, maybe letting them thaw a little first would help. Even my meat eating family members enjoy these.

I bought them yesterday, they are incredibly awesome. I buy a lot of frozen soy based products. I understand there are some reviews about product color- I think that should be a cold chain issue-and I would take them to the store to return. Second-the spices-So far this was the best plant based recipe which had the best spices combo-fennels etc. Overall excellent product.
No thank you

I bought these two days ago and decided to cook a few tonight. When cutting one open there was a black substance. Couldn't tell what it was but it took up a large part of the meatball. Looking at other reviews this seems to be a common problem. This was my first time trying a Gardein product and I won't ever be trying another one again. I would give it a O if I could.

Way too much fennel. Blows your taste buds so no other flavors can stand up to it.

The directions on the meatballs says to microwave for 4 1/2- 5 minutes. That resulted in burned sauce and meatballs hard as a rock. A better time is 2 minutes for 3 meatballs.

I love gardein plant-based "false" meat. It was my fist time buying these ans my last. I tried so hard to like those but for I hinally thwo them aways. The texture is gross, they are to wet? But the worst is the flavor profile . The spice use is just bad. They have a sting flavor profil but they also taste like nothing.

I only use these meatballs and I also use them for crumbles as well, if you are having problems with the density you are probably undercooking them or overcooking.. I never have issues, they did modify the recipe over the years but still good.
Super Yummy. Tastes Great!

I like having alternatives to add to pasta dishes that are meatless. I used these for a staff luncheon in conjunction with meat variety. I was surprised to see these were more popular than regular meat balls. I recommend.

The instructions on the package say these can be microwaved in 4.5 minutes. When I took them out of the microwave they were sizzling, way too hot to eat. Either the cooking time needs to be shortened or a cooling time needs to be included in the instructions.

Been serving these off and on for several years, but my latest batch seemed very dense and tough. I put them on a crockpot with sauce, heated until they were hot. I was surprised that I had difficulty cutting them with a fork. Had to use a steak knife. Are there any heating recommendations that would end up more tender?
