tablespoons of Italian sauce
Olive oil spray
1 ½ pounds ground beef, chicken or turkey meat
Method of Preparation
Preheat oven – 400 degrees.
In a bowl combine the meat, eggs, bread crumbs, and Italian seasoning.
Divide into 16 equal portions.
17 portions for sample meatball size.
It is best to measure about the size of one tablespoon for each meatball.
Flatten out the meatball onto a cutting board and then take each mozzarella ball into the flatten out meat and re-roll so the meatball is formed around it.
Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet.
Cook meatballs until browned on all sides.
Half way through baking, roll over meatballs.
Cook in the oven for 20 – 30 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through.
Cut sample meatball to make sure meatball is not pink inside.
Remove from parchment paper and place on a fancy server dish.
Garnish with extra cheese (please!) more sauce, and a splash of parsley.
Meatballs with mozzarella inside sounds freaking delicious! I wonder if you breaded the meatball, like in a wrap and fried it if it would be good. Like a ground beef mozzarella stick!
