Mozerella Stuffed Meatballs

Okay so I came up with this idea after Brandon and I ate at this little mom and pop Italian restaurant behind our house called Figlio's. The spaghetti was thin and the mozzarella was melting out of the bison stuffed meatball. It was amazing. I decided I would come home and try it and ended up finding a similar recipe on Pinterest. This recipe Called for Turkey but I decided to use 100 percent grass fed ground top sirloin. However It would be a lot healthier with turkey but just use whatever you want :)
The mozzarella just sort of oozes out of the meat ball and your mouth will do a happy dance! Thank me...or Pinterest...for this yummy recipe!!

Shopping List

One jar of Marinara sauce of your choice -We used tomato basil but we found it a tad sweet..I would go with simple marinara or maybe a four cheese red sauce.

pecorino cheese-if you don't want to be fancy and buy the block at the cheese market then just get the bagged stuff :) Three cheese italian blend will work nicely too.

Cubed Buffalo mozzarella chunks.

1 LB of whatever ground meat you would like-top sirloin, turkey, bison, Elk

oregeno

Salt/Pepper

Fresh Basil

One cup of Bread Crumbs

One egg 

Procedure

Start by Dumping all of your contents into a mixing bowl

Sauce, meat, pecorino, all spices, egg, and cup of bread crumbs.

mix thoroughly with your hands and mix all of the crumbs in with the  meat mixture.

Take a mozzerella cub and ball the meat mixture around it. ( I made my meatballs large but you could also serve them small and over spaghetti)

Once the meatballs are formed, in a large skillet pour olive oil inside and set to medium high heat.

brown your meat balls on top and bottom for 6  minutes each. Once they are browned on the outside then pour the sauce over them and cover with a lid for 25 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil. 

Serve alongside a caesar salad or on top of some yummy spaghetti. Such a simple dish and super flavorful!!!!!
