I was reading the cooking instructions for this package of meatballs and Walmart has not only a comical warning label following cooking instructions. But it's also a lot of unproven faith in my actual cooking abilities. Like how do they know these meatballs are going to be hot after I've cooked them?

This isn't how you make meatballs at all! No idea what is going on here. I would probably have bought some groud beef, veal, pork, mix them together with some breadcrumbs and spices, then bake. Maybe the instructions are for people like me? Very confused here.

can't believe shrek is fucking dead. rip to a real one.
you know what sucks? Trader Joes instructions.

Like, I have never, in my life, been able to cook a trader joes frozen meal without the ends being the temperature of the surface of the sun and the middle being colder than pluto. Never ever. Never happened

I find the reference to "sauce or gravy" in the stovetop directions vaguely ominous.

Looks to me like the instructions are saying "It's very easy to cook these meatballs if you use an oven like a normal person but we'll include the other, more convoluted ways if you want to be a complete weirdo".

if it comes in a bag, it's going in the microwave or toaster oven

It's an easy mistake to make. This is GBS. GWS is on down.

Thanks for the cooking advice miss. But I'm probably going to go home and shove raw hotdogs in my mouth until I pass out watching a YouTube cat video.

You can just eat the meatballs frozen if you want they are fully cooked they'll just be real crunchy

These things suck. Not only do you need to use a seperate Andrex product to get yourself fully clean but you also have to use regular toilet tissue anyway to dry yourself off. And they have the nerve to say they're trying to be more sustainable on top of all this nonsense.

Subway meatballs. Just tell them to fill up a children's beach pail until it's full and charge whatever.

Cooking is a huge pain in the rear end and in 2021 we no longer have to make our own food like medieval French peasants.

Do you also ride a horse to work instead of taking a car, train, etc? Cooking is literally like that.

Yes cooking meatballs in sauce is something only weirdos do.

Aight I admit I don't get the point of the OP. Is it "well duh of course it's going to be hot?"

I followed the instructions, the sauce I used was one I had lying around called "Mad Dog 375 Plutonium No. 9."
These meatballs definitely taste off somehow, maybe they needed another 5 minutes.

I prefer to think of it as more of a condiment but if you’ve got enough to cook meatballs in why not.

If you put frozen meatballs in the Sunday Gravy you’d get two in the back of the loving head and end up in a dumpster in Bushwick.

Incorrect. The point is that the warning says the product will be hot without knowing if I actually followed the directions up until that point. Hope that helps.
