Cheesy Stuffed Meatballs

Name: Cheesy Stuffed Meatballs
Ingredients: INGREDIENTS1/2 cup good quality bread crumbs; 1/3 cup heavy cream or half/half; 1/2 pound ground chuck; 1/2 pound ground sirloin; 1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt; Grinding coarse black pepper to taste; 1/2 pound Fontina or mozzarella cheese cut into 8 small pieces

MAKES 8 MEATBALLS

Can you make a better tasting meatball? Absolutely! Just stuff them with a creamy, melting cheese like Fontina! This may be a little unconventional way to make them, but the taste elevates meatballs to elegant and they can be served alone or in tomato sauce. Achieve great flavor by using a combination of ground chuck and ground sirloin because the fat in ground chuck is essential for moistness, while the sirloin provides great texture.

I enjoy your show. I watch it on channel 8.2 in Houston. Tx. I enjoy cooking but can’t eat very much due to having throat cancer in the past. Please keep up the great work you do.
Thanks
