Pizza Stuffed Meatballs

April 18, 2018

Pizza Stuffed Meatballs are the most amazing homemade meatballs that you will ever have! Mozzarella and pepperoni are stuffed inside flavorful meatballs, then simmered in a homemade pizza marinara sauce!

Pizza Stuffed Meatballs may just be one of my most favorite blog recipes ever. These flavorful little morsels are just so amazingly good and taste just like the meatballs I had at one of our favorite restaurants. These Baked Pizza Stuffed Meatballs will become your favorite dinner too! If you love mozzarella stuffed meatballs, then you will love these even more! These easy meatballs have so much flavor! 

These pizza stuffed meatballs are so versatile! You can serve them all on their own, over pasta, stuffed in bread for a meatball sandwich, or my personal favorite, over risotto! We don’t have risotto often at home, but the tender rice soaks up the sauce from these meatballs so well. It is the perfect creamy base for this recipe.

The homemade pizza marinara sauce in this recipe is so unique. It is a mixture of pizza sauce and marinara sauce, with pepperoni added in! The pepperoni adds so much flavor to the sauce and takes it from good to great!

I’m pretty sure that I could eat this amazing meatball dinner every single night and I need to make them again soon! If you are looking for a go to meatball recipe, you have try The Best Classic Italian Meatballs If you love creative meatball recipes try these!
