I cut the recipe in half and made 4 meatballs. After frying I added 2 cups of pasta sauce and served over spaghetti. This made 2 generous servings and the meatballs were very tasty. I will be adding this recipe to my OAMC repertoire. Next time I will try them on a hoagie roll. Made for PAC Spring 08. Thanks for posting Bev.

i have to say, this recipe was intresting! I have never had a stuffed meatball, now that i have i feel like i've been missing out, we made these for meatball subs, and the were a huge hit! I did have to cook them about 5 mins longer than stated but thats nothing compared to the great results you end up with, word of caution, make sure you seal these well, i almost wanted to add an egg but didn't, in the end a few were oozing with melted cheese but i'm not complaining one bit :) thanks for the keeper!
