Colorado Bison Italian Meatballs — 1 lb, Frozen (Rock River Bison)

$23.97 · 1 lb bag · 1 dozen per bag · 1.3 oz each · Uncooked, frozen · Rock River Bison

Uncooked Italian meatballs made from Rock River bison, frozen and ready to finish your way. A dozen per bag, 1.3 oz each, sized right for pasta night or a party tray. Bake them, simmer them in sauce, or brown them in a pan.

The same naturally raised Colorado bison in every other Rock River product, formed into a meatball. Leaner than beef meatballs, which means they hold their shape better and don't leave a pool of grease in your sauce.

Good for: pasta and marinara, a slow simmer in a Dutch oven, an appetizer tray with toothpicks and sauce, soup with Italian vegetables, a kid-friendly dinner that's better than what's in the freezer aisle.

Comes frozen, uncooked. Cook to 165°F internal. Can go straight from frozen into a covered pan with sauce on low heat, or thaw and bake at 375°F for 18 to 20 minutes.

ABOUT ROCK RIVER BISON 

Rock River Ranches is a family operation run by Rex and Julie Moore and their two sons out of Commerce City, Colorado. They run their own bison herds in Wray, Hudson, and Hartsel, Colorado. The animals are raised naturally on grass without antibiotics or growth promotants for about 18 months, then finished on hay and grain in small groups with room to move. They harvest in small groups of 10 to 14 bison every two to four weeks, which means fresh product is always moving. The same bison you're ordering from Sandy's Way is what's on the menu at Elway's, Tocabe, and Wolf's Tailor. I chose Rock River because of how they raise and handle their animals, and because they're Colorado's finest local producer.
