How to Make Jeff S Ultimate Meatballs
- In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 lb ground pork, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 egg, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Gently mix with your hands (or a spoon, we won't judge!).
- Cut 8 ounces of fresh mozzarella cheese into 1-inch cubes. If desired, wrap each mozzarella cube with a small piece of mascarpone cheese for an extra creamy surprise.
- Form the meat mixture around each cheese cube, creating 1-inch meatballs.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup breadcrumbs with 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Roll each meatball in the seasoned breadcrumbs until fully coated.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the browned meatballs to an oven-safe dish. Pour your favorite jarred marinara sauce (or homemade, if you're feeling ambitious!) over the meatballs.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
