STUFFED MEATBALL RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the ground meat with the eggs and mix well. Add the meat mixture and breadcrumbs to the bowl of a small stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix until well combined. Add the Parmesan, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper and mix on medium speed for 3 minutes (do not over mix). Scoop out 18 meatballs using an ice-cream scoop (or form the meatballs to ice-cream-scoop size). Mix the mozzarella, capicola, provolone, ham and salami in a mixing bowl. Stuff each meatball by making a hole in the middle and placing 1 tablespoon of the meat-and-cheese mixture in the center. Seal the meatballs well by pinching them back together. Bake, covered with foil, 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Cube string cheese into 1” cubes and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, 2 tablespoons of parsley, garlic cloves and Parmesan. Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Scoop meatball mixture into small ball (about 2 tablespoons) and press 1 cube mozzarella into the center, sealing meat tightly around cheese. Repeat with remaining meatball mixture and cheese. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook to brown on all sides. When the meatballs have developed a nice crust, remove them from the skillet and wipe the skillet clean. Return skillet to stovetop over medium heat. Pour marinara into the skillet then add the meatballs to the sauce. Spoon sauce over the meatballs. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer meatballs for another 12 minutes, or until cooked through. Serve warm. Garnish with more parsley and Parmesan if desired.
