Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs

Comfort food season has arrived, friends!  From the top holiday cookies to the cheesiest meatballs you need to make, we’re covering all the bases this season!  I’m changing things up today with a savory recipe that’s sure to be a hit this holiday.  Actually, these mozzarella stuffed meatballs are sure to be a hit any time you make them, but there’s something about a cozy meal simmering on the stove this time of year, waiting to be paired with a bottle of wine and shared with friends that makes it even better!

This is the next recipe I created in partnership with Farberware, and it’s one that I truly hope makes an appearance at your dinner table, or holiday parties this year!  My intention was to create a dish the whole family would love, was easy to prepare, and one that doubled as dinner and an outstanding appetizer for all those holiday celebrations!

Mission accomplished!

To me, meatballs are the ultimate comfort food, and it’s one of those dishes that everyone loves, so you don’t have to worry about making 25 separate dinners…  I lightened them up a bit by using ground turkey, and then I went and stuffed them with a cube of mozzarella cheese, because in my mind that equates to some sort of balance!

Ya with me?

I must confess, these turned out even better than I expected, and I think they’re even better the next day – if they last that long!  While I love serving them over a big plate of pasta, I think my favorite way to serve them is right in the skillet along side a loaf of homemade garlic bread.  So good!

We already know they’re great for dinner, but make these mini and you have an awesome holiday appetizer for parties. I love to serve them with a small bowl of marinara sauce for dipping.  They’re always the first thing to go!

Whatever way you make them, or serve them, just be sure to pencil these in!  Head over to Farberware for the full meatball recipe and please invite me over when you make them. I’ll bring the wine!  And cake!

Speaking of sweets, I have two new sweet recipes coming your way along with a fantastic giveaway! Stay tuned!
