Easy Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs Recipe
Easy Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs Recipe – These are amazing! I had to skip the Parmesan as I didn't have any on hand, but it turned out delicious anyway. I also only had 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs left, so I added 1/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs. My kids gobbled them up. Easy Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs Recipe were also very fast and easy to make, and I only had three out of 26 that oozed some cheese, and only very little. These will be a regular dish for us, perfect for busy nights when I need to make something quick and easy that doesn't require a bunch of ingredients.
