    Mild Ground Italian Sausage by Great Value
    Mild Ground Italian Sausage by Great Value
    1-½ pound
    2.
    Cheddar Cheese
    Cheddar Cheese
    12 teaspoon, shredded
    3.
    Olive Oil
    Olive Oil
    2 tablespoon

Instructions

    1.
    Gently form 12 meatballs from the ground Italian sausage, each approximately 2 ½ inches in diameter. Place the meatballs on a flat surface and use your knuckle or finger to create a well in the center of each.
    2.
    Press a teaspoon of shredded cheddar cheese into the well of each meatball. Carefully seal the meat around the cheese, rolling the meatball back to its original shape, ensuring the cheese is fully enclosed.
    3.
    Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. The pan should be appropriately sized to accommodate the meatballs without overcrowding. Arrange the meatballs in the hot oil, ensuring they have enough space to brown evenly. Cook, rotating frequently with tongs, until all sides are golden brown and slightly crispy, approximately 10 minutes.
    4.
    Remove the cooked meatballs from the pan and place them on a plate to cool slightly. If desired, pat them with a paper towel to remove any excess grease. Serve hot, allowing the melted cheese to be enjoyed at its best.
