Hi Dana. Yes, you can make your meatballs ahead of time. Cooked, wrapped properly and frozen meatballs are usually good up to 6 months in the freezer.
If you make them a couple of days in advance (and do not intend to freeze them) make sure you get them in the refrigerator (covered) immediately after cooking them.
You have a number of options for reheating the meatballs. I usually place the meatballs in a single layer when reheating.
(1) Reheat meatballs on the top of the stove in beef stock; (2) or microwave (covered) on high until hot; or (3) or wrap your fully cooked meatballs in foil and refrigerate. Preheat oven to 350 F. Place container of meatballs in oven and bake 30-40 minutes or until hot. (USDA recommends reheating meats to 165 F to destroy any bacteria.)
