Spinach Garlic Meatballs Stuffed With Mozzarella

So basically, once you make these meatballs they will be your go-to! I used a combo of pork and beef which I highly recommend. I I also love a splash of milk for tenderness! If your meatball mix should ever be too “wet”, just add a few more bread crumbs. Precooking the spinach in olive oil and garlic added so much flavor to these meatballs. Oh, and stuffing with cheese? Genius! Whoever came up with that idea was one smart cookie! This made 32 meatballs so you can certainly halve the recipe for less. I plan to use the extras in a second dinner this week. Probably in some pasta with broccoli rabe, garlic and oil! Hope you enjoy these spinach garlic meatballs stuffed with mozzarella as much as we did!
