Stuffed Meatballs

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
• Mix until well combined.
• In a separate bowl, prepare the filling by combining the shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped parsley, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
• Take a small portion of the meat mixture (about 2 tablespoons) and flatten it in the palm of your hand.
• Place a spoonful of the filling in the center, then fold the meat mixture around the filling, shaping it into a ball.
• Repeat with the remaining meat mixture and filling.
• Place the stuffed meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil, spacing them evenly apart.
• Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.
• Simmer the Rao’s  Homemade Marinara  sauce over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
• Once the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
• Pour the Rao’s Homemade Marinara Sauce over the meatballs, coating them evenly.
• Serve the stuffed meatballs hot, garnished with additional grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley if desired.
