Pizza Meatballs

Submitted by yooper

"A very easy recipe from "Taste of Home". Each meatball is stuffed with a cube of mozarella cheese. Kids love these! I usually brown them the day before I serve them and put on low in the crockpot for several hours with the pizza sauce."

These were incredible! .. a secret that a friend told me, mix the milk with the breadcrumbs first then add to the rest to make the meatballs more tender. Very good recipe!!

These are absolutely amazing. It was enough to eat for one meal and freeze about 2 more meals...so, the extra steps are worth it!
