Filled with pepperoni and mozzarella, these crowd-pleasing meatballs can be enjoyed alone, in pasta or in a sandwich. The possibilities are endless!

Pizza + Meatball = Love. That’s what we think anyway! So, we went a little crazy and stuffed meatballs with two favorite pizza toppings: mozzarella cheese and pepperoni.

To make them, you’re going to need ground beef, an egg, bread crumbs, dried basil, garlic powder, salt, pepperoni and fresh mozzarella balls.

Add the spices and half of the bread crumbs to a large bowl and mix.

Next, add the egg and chopped pepperoni.

Add the beef and mix until the spices, bread crumbs and egg have been combined. Shape a small amount of the beef mixture around each mozzarella ball.

Coat each meatball in bread crumbs and place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.

Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 20 minutes until cooked through.

Enjoy the meatballs alone, over pasta or how about in a hoagie? Delicious!
