Cheese-stuffed Meatballs

Got a cheese lover in your family? This is sure to please.

NEED:
1 egg
1/4 cup Italian Salad dressing
1 cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons parsley
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground oregano
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pound meatloaf mix ( pork / beef) or use what you normally use for meatloaf
3 ounces mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 jar ( 26 ounce) marinara sauce
pasta

In large bowl, combine first 8 ingredients. Crumble meat over mixture and mix well. Hands work best for this...remove rings first. Cut mozzarella into eighteen 1/2 inch cubes. ( or can use pre cut) Divide meat into 18 portions and shape each around a cheese cube.

In large fry pan, cook meatballs in oil, until no pink remains. Drain well. In sauce pan, heat marinara sauce, add meatballs and heat through. Serve over cooked pasta.

Makes 6 servings.

Enjoy!
