Directions
Make the meatball mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Stuff the meatballs: Take about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place a mozzarella cube in the center, then wrap the meat around it, forming a ball. Repeat with the rest of the meat and mozzarella.
Sear the meatballs: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides for about 5–6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Cook the marinara: In the same skillet, add marinara sauce and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer, then return the meatballs to the skillet. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the cheese is melted inside.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve the meatballs with extra sauce. They’re perfect over pasta or as a stand-alone dish!
