Stuffed Meatballs Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Stuff the Meatballs

    Take a portion of the meat mixture, flatten it in your hand, and place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center. Fold the meat around the cheese and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the Sauce

    Pour the tomato sauce over the meatballs in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and the cheese is melted.
