These gluten-free cheese stuffed meatballs are made with warm and juicy pieces of beef, with ooey gooey cheesy centers. These meatballs take your next spaghetti-and-meatball night up a notch. These gluten-free bombs are so easy to make with only 5 ingredients and take only minutes to make!
I know that there are a ton of meatballs out in the world {and I’m not talking about the kind who pull out in front of you in rush hour traffic!}. BUT… not many of them are gluten-free. So… what does one do on a spaghetti-and-meatball night with no meatballs? Well, you quickly make them. And you don’t make just any meatball. Hell no. You make ’em cheese filled.
Gluten-Free Cheese Stuffed Meatballs
Yield: 18
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup gluten-free italian-style bread crumbs*
- 1 egg, beaten
- inch mozzarella cheese sticks, cut into 1 sections
- 2 TBSP oil for frying, we used olive oil
Instructions
- Place the oil in a large skillet and warm over a medium heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef, breadcrumbs, and egg together thoroughly.
- Form into 18 evenly-sized balls and insert one mozzarella section into the middle of each ball and close the ball back up around the cheese.
- Place all meatballs in the heated oil and fry for 8-12 minutes, until the meatballs are thoroughly cooked and browned (some of the cheese may start to seep out of the meatballs).
- Place on paper towels or another flat absorptive surface to cool before serving.
- Serve with noodles and spaghetti sauce and enjoy it messy!
I use these gluten-free breadcrumbs for this recipe (affiliate link).
