My teens love when I make my spaghetti with homemade meat sauce so much that they ask for it once or twice a month. Now, tell me that does not sound AMAZING?! I have never made cheese stuffed meatballs, but Aldi had 6 pounds of ground meat 50% off ($6.00 a pack!!!). Of course, I could not resist and pass them up, we got a few to just freeze and then rest to make meatloaf and meatballs for the freezer. Once I make the meatballs in my air frier, I like to cook them half way through then freeze them until we are ready to eat them. I have about 30 pounds of ground beef to work with for meatballs. You want to make sure you have a good amount of cheese balls on hand, I always buy extra because my teens and husband love these just as a snack.
Basically, all you're doing here, as you see photoed below, is rolling your meatballs, making a hole in the middle and putting a piece of cheese then rolling up into a ball and air frying them. It is very easy to make, does not take much time and taste amazing! Def beats having store bought meatballs that I have no idea what is in them! These are GREAT for spaghetti, or meatball subs or just plain with some sauce on top.
You Will Need:
6 lbs Ground Meat (turkey, chicken or beef)
2 Cups Bread Crumbs or Panko
1 Onion, minced (very finely)
Mozzarella Mini Cheese Balls
1/4 Cup Milk
1/4 Cup Tomato Sauce (or ketchup)
2 Tbsp. Ground Sage
2 Tbsp. Garlic Powder (or 1 Tbsp fresh garlic)
2 Tbsp. Onion Powder
2 Tbsp. Italian Seasoning (unless in your bread crumbs)
Salt & Pepper
Air fry at 380 degrees
For 8 minutes. I had to keep checking them as some cooked faster than others. Also, be sure to empty the grease often.
We lined them up on a baking sheet to freeze, the kids LOVED these soooo much!
Enjoy y'all!! See ya next time!
