Stuffed Meatballs

I have out-done myself! Goat cheese is a staple in my house, but it wasnt until today that I thought to myself "PUT IT IN A MEATBALL!" So I did.


Heres how to make it!

1lb extra lean ground beef

1 egg

Oregano (to taste)

Salt&Pepper

4 oz log of Garlic&Herb flavored goat cheese (cut into 8 pieces - as evenly as possible - cut down the center vertically, then across 3 times horizontally)

Your favorite pasta & pasta sauce

Preheat oven to 375*

Mix together the meat, egg and spices until the egg is well blended and no longer feels runny, form one big ball out of the meat.

Take the side of your hand and make a line down the center of the ball of meat (vertically), and 3 lines across (horizontally) .... JUST LIKE YOU DID THE CHEESE!

You will now have 8 meatball sections, take one at a time, flatten in your hand, and place 1 piece of cheese in the center and form a ball around!

On a baking sheet lined with foil and sprayed with cooking spray, place your balled meatballs in 2 rows, then spray each meatball with cooking spray.

Cook for 20 mins, flip each meatball over, and cook for additional 20 minutes.

Place them on a plate lined with paper towel to soak up any grease

Then make your pasta and sauce as you wish and add your meatballs!!

YUM YUM! Enjoy!
