Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
½ onion, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs
1 cup bread crumbs
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried parsley
12 sticks string cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 eggs, beaten
3 cups bread crumbs
marinara sauce, to serve

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, add the beef, pork, onion, garlic, bread crumbs, beaten eggs, salt, pepper, dried basil, dried oregano, and dried parsley, red pepper flakes. Mix together to combine.
  • Pick up 2 ounces (55 g) of meat, press into a flat patty on the palm of your hand.
  • Place a mozzarella stick into the center of the patty and wrap the meatball mixture around it to seal it inside. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
  • Take the meatball-wrapped stick of cheese and dredge it in the flour, coat it in beaten egg, and then roll it in bread crumbs. Repeat with the rest.
  • Place a batch of the sticks into oil at 325°F (180°C), and cook until the outside is golden brown and the beef is cooked through, 5 minutes. Then remove the mozzarella sticks from the fryer and drain on a wire rack. Season with salt.
  • Serve the meatball mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce.
  • Enjoy!
