Itâs fun to watch my friends eat these meatballs for the first time. Theyâre pleasantly surprised to find melted cheese in the middle. These meatballs are also great in a hot sub sandwich. Ingredients:
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1/4 cup prepared italian salad dressing |
1-1/2 cups cubed bread |
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 pound ground pork |
1/2 pound ground sirloin |
3 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese |
2 tablespoons canola oil |
1 jar (26 ounces) marinara sauce |
hot cooked pasta |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Crumble pork and beef over mixture; mix well. Cut mozzarella into eighteen 1/2-in. cubes. Divide meat mixture into 18 portions; shape each around a cheese cube.
2. In a large skillet, cook meatballs in oil in batches until a thermometer inserted in the meat reads 160°; drain. In a large saucepan, heat marinara sauce; add meatballs and heat through. Serve over pasta. Yield: 6 servings.
