A fun and savory meatball recipe with a gooey mozzarella center, perfect for family dinners and gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, cubed
  • 2 cups spaghetti
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • Parmesan cheese for topping (optional)
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot when you place the meatballs inside.
  2. Combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix until just combined.
  3. Take a small portion of the meat mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center, then roll the meat around the cheese to encase it completely.
  4. Arrange the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
  5. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  6. Heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until heated through.
  7. Transfer the baked meatballs to the marinara sauce and gently stir to coat. Serve over the cooked spaghetti, and top with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil, if desired.

Notes
