Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground chicken or turkey
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
4 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes
Olive oil (for frying)
Marinara sauce (optional, for serving)
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix ground beef, ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, eggs, garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Combine well without overmixing.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture, flatten it, and place a mozzarella cube in the center. Wrap the meat around the cheese and roll into a ball. Repeat.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook meatballs in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked.
Optional: Warm up marinara sauce and serve meatballs smothered in it.
Enjoy the cheesy surprise in every bite!
