Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, milk, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder. Mix until just combined.
Stuff the meatballs by scooping about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and flatten slightly.
Place a piece of mozzarella in the center, then form the beef around the cheese, sealing completely.
Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Cook the meatballs in 1–2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F, about 12–15 minutes.
Enjoy warm with marinara sauce for dipping, or serve over spaghetti for an easy family dinner.
These also can be stored and reheated for a fun, protein-packed addition to a packed lunch!
