CHEESE-STUFFED MEATBALLS
I am eating this as I write - it's a recipe I got from the Williams-Sonoma catalog. They came out just delicious and the extra meatballs will be my lunch and dinner this week. One caveat - seal the cheese in the meatballs securely, or it will melt out when simmering in the sauce. It was a bit tedious to make, but not difficult. There are quite a few steps. The sauce was a bit of a pain for me to make (didn't have a tomato press), so I used premade. But I think this is the way I'll make my meatballs from now on!

"CHRISTMAS was the time when our family forgot about the food budget and splurged on one special meal. I can still see Grandmother making dozens of these little meatballs! The hint of spices gives them a savory taste that makes them authentically Norwegian."

Tips:
- Choose the right ground meat. A combination of ground beef and ground pork is often used for meatballs, but you can also use all beef, all pork, or even a mixture of ground chicken and turkey. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Season the meat well. Don't be afraid to add plenty of herbs and spices to the meat mixture. This will help to give the meatballs flavor and depth.
- Use a light hand when mixing the meat. Overworking the meat will make the meatballs tough. Just mix until the ingredients are evenly combined.
- Form the meatballs into uniform sizes. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Brown the meatballs before simmering them in the gravy. This will help to seal in the juices and prevent the meatballs from falling apart.
- Use a flavorful gravy. The gravy is an important part of this dish, so be sure to use a recipe that you like. You can use a simple tomato sauce, a creamy Alfredo sauce, or even a rich brown gravy.
- Serve the meatballs over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes. This will help to soak up the delicious gravy.
