Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lb. lean ground beef or venison
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 3 – 5 cloves garlic, peeled & chopped
- 6 Tablespoons fresh chopped herbs (I used rosemary, basil, parsley, tarragon, & oregano)
- 1/2 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup finely shredded zucchini
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Mozzarella pearls
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F. Mix together all ingredients except the mozzarella pearls in a large bowl.
- Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
- To make each meatball, take a small lump of the meat mixture and form it around a pearl of mozzarella to completely encase the cheese. Set the meatball on the prepared pan and repeat until all the meat mixture is used up.
- Bake at 375 for 20 minutes or so or until the meatballs are done through. Serve hot with marinara sauce and spaghetti or zoodles.
