Tomato, meat, and cheese are already a familiar trio in the kitchen, but you don’t have to make the same meal with these flavors every time. Opting for a completely new recipe with ingredients you already know work together is a great way to try something different while remaining true to what you like. That’s exactly why these stuffed meatballs work so well.
Another big bonus with these meatballs in particular: they’re extremely customizable. Beyond the usual choice of mozzarella, many other cheeses can work just as well in this dish, from a nutty Asiago blend to a sharp provolone. Flavor profiles aside, the gooey texture of the cheese is one of the main attractions of this dish, so don’t be afraid to choose an unusual variety. This same mentality can be applied to the type of meat you choose for the meatball itself, and even the type of tomato. Whether you prefer traditional ground beef or something spicier like Italian sausage – the choice is up to you.
