These mozzarella stuffed meatballs are great on spaghetti or on a hot sub sandwich. They are honestly the best meatballs I have ever tasted.
These would be great as an appetizer for your next get together with friends or family for the holidays.
Make a double batch and serve with spaghetti the first day and meatball subs the next. Definitely do this if you have meatball lovers at your table!
