  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons flour

Instructions
  1. Mix together the ground beef, onions, peppers, egg, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper. Mix together until it comes together good and then do another minute more.
  2. Shape the meatball mixture into 20 small balls.
  3. Cut the cheese into 20 cubes.
  4. Put a small indent in the meatball and then enclose the cheese in the meatball.
  5. Put a little oil in a saute pan. Add the meatballs and brown on all sides. Remove from pan and set aside while you make the sauce. (If you don't you risk the cheese oozing out)
