SPAGHETTI STUFFED MEATBALLS



Spaghetti Stuffed Meatballs image

Saw this idea on rachel ray, but it was one gigantic meatball, so I rewrote it to indivdual size meatballs. They are still quite large, one meatball is more then filling for your appetite!

Provided by Rogers Roaster

Categories     European

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 Meatballs, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 pinch salt
3 lbs ground beef
3 eggs
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs (seasoned or plain works)
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons white pepper or 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
3 teaspoons oregano
3 tablespoons parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder (or cloves whichever you prefer)
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 lb spaghetti noodles
1 (48 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
1 -2 cup flour

Steps:

  • Bring a dutch oven 1/2 full of water to a boil. (I use a little EVO and salt. one the salt helps quicken the boil time , and two the oil helps the noodles from sticking together.).
  • Place your noodles in the boiling water and cook until they are soft. Once done, strain the noodles, and mix the noodles with the sauce. Set aside to cool, well be stuffing the meatballs with the spaghetti and sauce.
  • Combine ground beef, eggs, milk, bread crumbs, sea salt, white pepper, oregano, parsley, garlic. and parmesan cheese, until its well mixed together.
  • Now there are a few ways to hollow out your patties, either with a small bowl or ramekin. I used a hamburger stuffer, then reshaped the meatball, so its round and not a patty. Either way works, once again that is up to your discretion and whatever you find easiest.
  • After your patty is shaped, spoon in about 1/2 cup of cooked spaghetti and sauce in your hollowed patty. Then place the other patty on top and seal generously. Then roll the meatball in flour to help the seal the patties together.
  • Place your formed meatballs in a shallow baking pan, spoon extra sauce over each meatball, and let a layer of sauce cover the pan. Sprinkle some extra parmasean cheese over each meatball. Approximately every 15 minutes baste each meatball generously with sauce and cook at 350 - 400 degrees for about 45 - 60 minutes.

2 slices white bread, torn into small pieces (see NOTES)
2 tbs water
2 tbs finely chopped onion
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

8 - 1/2-inch cubes sharp cheddar cheese -OR- mozzarella

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easy clean up) and place a rack in the pan (I use a rack like you use to cool cookies) In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, torn bread, water, onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper and egg. Blend well. Divide meat into 8 equal portions. Form meatball around a cube of cheese. Wrap with one slice of bacon, then turn the meatball 90 degrees and wrap in another slice of bacon. Place meatballs, bacon seam-side down on the rack in the prepared pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until bacon is nicely browned and beginning to look crisp (the bacon won't crisp on the bottom, FYI).

FRENCH ONION SOUP AU GRATIN STUFFED MEATBALLS RECIPE - (4.4/5)



French Onion Soup au Gratin Stuffed Meatballs Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Karenna

Number Of Ingredients 23

For the onions:
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 onions, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 Tablespoon fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup beef broth
1/4 cup red wine (I used Gallo Family Pinot Noir)
For the meatballs:
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1/4 cup bread crumbs or ground oats (gluten free, if needed)
1 Tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 egg
8 oz mozzarella cheese (about 1-2 oz into sixteen approximately half-inch cubes, to stuff the meatballs, the remainder shredded)
1/2 Tablespoon olive oil
Fresh chopped parsley for garnish, optional
For the sauce:
1 3/4 cup beef broth
1/4 cup red wine (I used Gallo Family Pinot Noir)
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
salt & pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1.In a large nonstick pan over medium-low heat, saute onions and butter stirring occasionally until golden brown and caramelized. 2.Add the thyme, salt, water, bouillon, and wine. Cook over medium heat until reduced by half. Let cool. 3.Combine the milk soaked bread, ½ cup panko, parsley, pepper, salt, and egg in a bowl and mix together until everything is a happy gloopy mess. Mix in the ground beef with your hands until the gloopy mess is evenly distributed into the meat. If necessary to make the meat formable, mix in additional ¼ cup of panko. 4.Grab a small handful of the meat and flatten in your palm. Add some cheese and onions, and fold meat over and around it, sealing the edges as best as you can. This is a messy process. Repeat until all meat has been stuffed. 5.In a large nonstick skillet, heat canola oil over medium high heat. Brown meatballs on all sides. Remove to an oven safe dish when browned. Don't worry about these cooking all the way through. They will finish cooking in the oven. 6.Make sauce by combining all ingredients in a saucepan, and simmering for 10 minutes. Pour over meatballs, and top the meatballs with any extra onions, with the shredded mozzarella cheese, and any extra provolone you didn't use to stuff the meatballs. 7.Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, Remove, top with fresh chopped parsley, and serve with mashed potatoes.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork for the meatballs. This will give them a richer flavor and texture.
  • Soak the bread crumbs in milk before adding them to the meatball mixture. This will help to bind the meatballs together and prevent them from becoming too dry.
  • Season the meatball mixture generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as oregano, basil, or thyme.
  • Make sure the meatball mixture is well-chilled before forming the meatballs. This will help to prevent them from falling apart when they are cooked.
  • Roll the meatballs in flour before browning them in a skillet. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the meatballs from sticking to the pan.
  • Use a variety of fillings for the meatballs. Some popular options include cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped vegetables, and cooked meats.
  • Bake the meatballs in a preheated oven until they are cooked through. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the meatballs.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce, such as tomato sauce, marinara sauce, or gravy.

Conclusion:

Stuffed meatballs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a party appetizer, a main course, or a side dish. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a stuffed meatball recipe that everyone will love.
