Cheese Stuffed Meatballs

Cheese Stuffed Meatballs

Cheese Stuffed Meatballs

These meatballs were so yummy! I’ve seen meatballs stuffed with cheese around for quite a while now and decided to give them a whirl. They takeĀ a little time to prepare but are so worth it! These meatballs are about the size of a large walnut before you put the cheese in just to give you an idea of the size of them. I always find it easier to roughly divide the meat mixture into halves and then quarters so that you are sure to get the 20 meatballs.

Put an indent in the meatball for the cheese and then carefully seal the meat around the cheese. The cheese has to be totally surrounded by the meat or it will leak out during cooking. I had a couple do this. Don’t be alarmed if this happens.

Remove the meatballs from the pan when they are browned and set aside to make the sauce.
