One Pan Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs (Gluten free Option)
These mozzarella stuffed meatballs are tender, flavorful and bursting with ooey gooey melted cheese. These homemade meatballs are stuffed with gooey mozzarella cheese and use gluten free breadcrumbs....which mean's they're 100% safe if you are gluten free. Basically anything that is stuffed with cheese is elite in my book.
Ingredients

- 8 oz mozzarella cheese or dairy free substitute
