Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ¼ cup bread crumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp marinara sauce (or your favorite spaghetti sauce)
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 4 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into cubes
  • Marinara sauce and pasta for serving

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, marinara sauce, egg, salt, and Italian seasoning. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
  2. Take about 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture and flatten it in your hand. Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center and wrap the meat around it, forming a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture and cheese cubes.
  3. Arrange the stuffed meatballs on a plate or tray and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to help them hold their shape.
  4. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Cook the meatballs, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through (about 10-12 minutes).
  5. Serve the mozzarella-stuffed meatballs with marinara sauce over your choice of pasta.
