Cheese-Stuffed Meatballs

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 3/4 C. plain bread crumbs
  • 1/2 C. water
  • 2 T. fresh chopped parsley
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 t. garlic powder
  • 2 t. BBQ seasoning
  • 1 8 oz. block mozzarella, cut into 20 (1/2-inch) cubes

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except for the mozzarella cubes. 
  2. Mix well.
  3. Roll the meat mixture into 20 meatballs.
  4. Form each meatball around a cheese cube.
  5. Cover each cube completely. 
  6. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking oil. 
  7. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.

These make a great appetizer.  But you could use it as meatballs for a sub sandwich or for spaghetti and meatballs.
