    • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese shredded
    • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
    • ½ cup Pecorino Romano cheese freshly grated
    • 2 tablespoons dried Italian herbs
    • 1 tablespoon dried basil
    • 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
    • 6-8 large garlic cloves chopped
    • 2 eggs whipped

    Directions

      1. Using your fingers firmly press the shredded mozzarella into 12-14 balls about 1 inch in diameter. Refrigerate them on a plate while you create the meatballs.
      2. In a large bowl add the ground beef caramelized onion eggs Pecorino Romano Italian herbs granulated garlic breadcrumbs salt pepper ½ cup Magical Olive Oil and dried basil. Then using your hands mix thoroughly until everything is completely blended.
      3. Scoop a 3-inch ball of the meat mixture (about ⅓ cup) into your palm. Using your thumb form a depression in the center to receive a mozzarella ball.
      4. After inserting the cheese ball close the meat around it completely. Repeat with the rest of the meat mixture and cheese balls.
      5. Place an extra large sauté pan on medium heat for about 45 seconds. Add ⅓ cup of Magical Olive Oil and heat for 45-60 seconds.
      6. Slowly add meatballs one at a time leaving a little space around them.
      7. Cook until the meatballs are a rich golden brown turning them regularly to prevent burning. Set those aside and repeat the cooking process with the remaining meatballs.
      8. Add the sauce from your MagicalButter pitcher to the pan and stir thoroughly to coat all the meatballs. Cover the pan and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
