Italian Meatballs Stuffed with Mozzarella Cheese

I told Mom I wanted mozzarella stuffed meatballs and she scoured the internet for different recipes to blend together to create a masterpiece. She adapted this recipe from The Recipe Critic, one of our all-time favorite sites. You guys, Alyssa is the QUEEN and I just love her site. Her recipes are tested and good every single time. Mom made some changes but the original idea was Alyssa’s. Be sure to check out her site ASAP!

Meatballs with Marinara Sauce

We served these cheesy Mozzarella Meatballs with store bought marinara sauce because I’ll be honest, that’s just how I roll sometimes, but you can also use this homemade marinara. When you can find easy shortcuts to make a home cooked meal that much easier, I’m all for it! Do some taste testing and find a pre-made marinara that you love and it goes a long way with these Italian meatballs. 

How long do you bake these?

These Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs take about 15-20 minute to bake in the oven. I can’t believe how easy and quick this Italian meatballs recipe is. They turn out sooo juicy and cheesy!

What temp do you bake meatballs in the oven?

If you want to bake meatballs in the oven, set your oven to 350 degrees. These Mozzarella Meatballs turn out perfectly! Just the right crispiness on the outside and the perfect ooey gooey melty cheese on the inside. I LIKE.

Once you taste these Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs you’re going to want to eat them all the time. Not great for the waistline but great for the soul. I’m going to write a new book called Stuffed Meatballs for the Soul. Wayyy better than Chicken Soup for the Soul :). If you like these Mozzarella Meatballs, try these other meatball recipes:
