Happy TGIF! 🙂 How has your week been? Got any plans for the weekend? I hope the weather will continue to be just as nice as it has been the past 2 days. I love spring like days! 🙂 Goodbye Winter — HELLLOOO Spring! 🙂
Since my schedule has gone haywire, my meal planning and *cough* exercise routine has as well. 😦 I enjoy doing both so Im working on finding the balance in work and play. {Ill take any suggestions here} 🙂 This week Raymond and I did manage to make one great meal together: Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs. They were fab!
MOZZARELLA STUFFED MEATBALLS
- (1 lb) Ground Beef (highly recommend 93/7 or better)
- (1 Egg) slightly beaten
- (1/2 Cup) Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs (We used Progresso)
- (1/2 Tsp) Salt
- (1/2 Tsp) Pepper
- (1/2 Tsp) Garlic Powder
- (1/2 Tsp) Italian Seasoning
- (1/2 Tsp) Minced Onion (spice)
- (1/4 Cup) Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Throw everything in a bowl.
- Take off rings and mix with hands. Make sure it is all incorporated
- Grease baking sheet.
- Use a Tbsp to divy out meatballs. So they are all the same size.
- Roll each meatball. Press a small amount of mozzarella cheese in the middle. Cover cheese.
- Place all meatballs on the baking sheet.
- Bake 10 minutes.
- Turn meatballs.
- Bake 5 more minutes. (depending on your oven – you might need to bake an additional 10 minutes).
- Enjoy! 🙂
We served ours with pesto pasta and french bread. The meatballs have so much flavor that I suggest keeping the side dishes relatively plain. No need for flavor overkill — coming for a flavor fanatic! 🙂
Link up if you made anything yummy this week! 🙂
Until next time…
