Momma’s Homemade Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs
How to make Momma’s Homemade Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs Recipe - I’ll never forget an assignment my oldest son had in kindergarten that asked what his favorite food was. He immediately yelled out “Meatballs,” then asked me how to spell while writing down the letters as fast as his little kindergartner fingers could write. Prepare yourself for juicy meatballs stuffed with oozing mozzarella that are beautifully nestled in a simple pasta sauce over spaghetti, eaten on a fork if you are my 9-year-old, or layered inside a soft baguette smothered in melted cheese and pasta sauce.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound lean ground beef
1 large egg
1⁄2 cup finely chopped white onion
1⁄2 cup Japanese panko bread crumbs
1⁄2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1⁄4 cup milk
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon hot sauce, like Tabasco
1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1⁄4 teaspoon garlic salt
12 to 14 1-inch fresh mozzarella balls
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with the olive oil.
2. Add the beef, egg, onion, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic salt to a large mixing bowl and stir until just combined. Take 1⁄4 cup beef mixture and press an indentation into the center with your thumb to make room for the cheese. Place a cheese ball into the indentation, then with your hands, enclose the cheese with the beef mixture, making sure the cheese is completely enclosed. Place meatballs into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
