To begin with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook cheesy stuffed meatballs using 7 ingredients and 3 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Cheesy Stuffed Meatballs:
- Make ready 1 lb lean ground beef
- Prepare 1 lb ground Italian sausage
- Take 5 sticks mozzarella string cheese, cut into 6 pieces each
- Make ready 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs

Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs are perfect for freezing! Allow them to cool completely, then scrape off any residual grease that might be hanging around on the bottom of the meatballs. Place the meatballs on a cookie sheet and freeze, then pluck them off and place them into a freezer bag. This method will keep them from sticking together.
Instructions to make Cheesy Stuffed Meatballs:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, mix together beef & sausage slightly with a fork. In another, small bowl mix bread crumbs, milk & any extra desired herbs & spices. Let bread crumbs soak about 5 minutes, then stir in parmesan cheese & add mixture to meats. Fluff all ingredients with fork until just combined.
- Cut string cheeses into 6 pieces each, about an inch long. Take about a golf ball sized hunk of meat & roll lightly into a ball. Stuff one cheese nugget into meat & push meat around it. Roll into a ball, just a little tighter, making sure cheese stays as covered as possible.
- Place meatballs into a greased, glass, 13x9 inch casserole dish/cake pan. Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes, until golden brown & cooked through. Serve with sauce on noodles, or in your favorite sturdy sandwich roll with more cheese on top. I added the meatballs to simmering sauce for another 20-30 minutes & they came out amazing! :)
Fortunately, these cheesy stuffed meatballs are easily adapted to fit into the keto diet. You can use almond flour instead of bread crumbs to remove the gluten and the carbohydrates. If you want to make these truly healthy and keto-friendly, consider adding extra vegetables such as onions and mushrooms. The main challenge when making cheese-stuffed meatballs is that sometimes the cheese oozes out of a meatball (or two) into the pan. If you seal the meatballs well, as shown in the video, this usually doesn't happen.
