Mozzarella Stuffed Homemade Meatballs
Bringing more delicious dinner ideas your way! Anyone else think they could eat these meatballs everyday next week and be completely happy?! Heaven knows my family could and practically did last week, lol! My boys devoured these gorgeous beef balls and are very sad they are gone now.
I’ve created a simple homemade meatball that is stuffed with those gorgeous marinated Mozzarella balls you’ll find in the refrigerated section of your grocery store by the fresh Mozzarella. They are a bit on the pricey side, but worth every single penny according to my family 🙂
Hope you enjoy! On another note, did anyone see Adjustment Bureau over the weekend?! We loved it! I couldn’t be more thrilled that my sister and her family are visiting from AZ! We are off to Disney today, let’s hope the weather cooperates with us!
Here’s your line up 🙂
Little Mozzarella balls straight from heaven, love these blasted things.

Did you watch Iron Chef America last night? Mozzarella was the secret ingredient and someone made mozz stuffed meatballs. Yum-o – thanks for posting!
I didn’t see the Iron Chef, bet it was a great episode!!
I was just thinking to myself that I have some ground beef I need to use up this week. This is perfect! Thank you!

I’m hoping our next date night involves seeing The Adjustment Bureau. It looks like a great movie.
You’ll love the movie, have fun!!
Meatballs, cheese, pasta…pretty sure all bases are covered!! Is it too early for a plate of this right now?
Stuffed cookies…stuffed meatballs. I’m down.
This looks delicious!!!!!
Delicious little bites! Perfect idea to tuck the cheese inside there all melty and everything. Yum!
These remind me of deep-fried risotto balls, stuffed with fresh mozzarella. What a fun way to shake up meatballs a little. Have a great time at Disneyland!
I’m a huge meatball fan, but I’ve never tried them stuffed with cheese. Now I can’t imagine why I never would have thought of something so obviously meant to be! You’re a genius! Thanks!!
Oh my goodness, these look delish!!!! Wonder how they would be if made with turkey? We recently gave up red meat in an EFFORT to be more healthy LOL….good luck right? We love good food and I love to cook and blog about it too (new blogger but hey..). Oh man, I must try these! YUMM! I love those little cheese balls too. Great in a caprese salad with tomatoes, some basil etc. YUMM!
I think they’d work just fine with ground turkey, let me know how it goes 🙂
These look DELICIOUS!!! YUM! Can’t wait to give them a try! 🙂
I just someone make this on Food Network yesterday! 🙂 It looks fabulous, I love how the mozzarella seeps out after baking 🙂
I love the cheesy inside!
My hubby and boys are crazy for meatballs. They will LOVE these!!
What a great concept since you can not go wrong with CHEESE! I will be trying these but just changing them to accomadate my Gluten Free Life!
yum! I love the little mozzarella balls. I will definitely be making these. Enjoy Disney today!
Wowzer, that’s heaven alright. I’m going to put some Mootz in my meatball recipe next time I make the !!!
Cool idea!
i’ve always thought to stuff mozzarella into meatballs but never actually saw it done…it sounds AH-mazing!
This is one of my fiance’s favorite recipes. I haven’t made them in ages, and I know he would be pleasantly surprised if these showed up on his plate some night this week. Thanks for the reminder!
Oooh my man will absolutely love these!
Jenny my hubs would adore these! I don’t eat meat or cheese or bread…lol…so these are not on my radar screen but what is…is your amazing photography!
I would love to learn from you! I just got a new lens (Marla has it and I think she said you have it) and so far I’m in love. But clearly have a long way to go before my pics look like yours 🙂
Enjoy that new lens! I live it, be patient with yourself, it takes lots of practice to figure out those fancy camera settings 🙂
These look delicious! I’ve stuffed burgers but never meatballs. Looks like I’ll have to try this soon!
