Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean Ground Beef
- 1 pound Ground Pork
- 2 Eggs
- 1-½ cup Italian Blend Breadcrumbs
- 2 Tablespoons Salt And Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- ¼ cups Ketchup
- 7 ounces, weight Bocconcini (Small Mozzarella Balls)
- 1 cup Pasta Sauce
- ¼ cups Grated Gruyère Cheese
Preparation
In a large mixing bowl, add beef and pork and combine with hands. Once mixed, add eggs and continue to knead the mixture with hands. While mixing, add breadcrumbs, salt and pepper, Italian seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil and ketchup.
Once all ingredients are combined, begin forming the meatballs. Grab a medium-sized mixture of the meat and loosely roll a ball. Take a ball of mozzarella and place it in the center of the meatball, packing the meat around the mozzarella. Do not firmly pack the meatballs. The meatballs can vary in shape and size.
Place each of the meatballs in a large, greased Pyrex dish and place in the oven at 375ºF for about 25–28 minutes. If meatballs are smaller, cook closer to 22–25 minutes, and if they are larger, cook closer to 28–30 minutes.
When meatballs are fully cooked, serve with pasta sauce and top with Gruyère cheese.
