It's not every day you come across a cheese-stuffed meatball, but I am sure glad I did. These pork and beef and meatballs stay so tender and juicy and then get glazed over with Buffalo-style mustard that will remind you of your favorite buffalo chicken wings. Serve these on their own or with some simple buttered noodles for an even more filling meal.

Ingredients

Carrot sticks, for serving
Celery sticks, for serving
Blue cheese dressing, for serving
1/2 cup Buffalo mustard
2 tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
3 oz. Whole milk mozzarella cheese, cut into twenty 1/2" cubes
1/4 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 tsp. Kosher salt
1/4 tsp. Garlic powder
1 Large egg
1/4 cup Freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 cup Finely chopped chives, plus more for serving
1 Bread crumbs
1/2 pound Ground pork
1/2 pound Ground beef

Method

01

In a medium bowl, whisk Buffalo mustard with 3 tablespoons water. In another medium bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, chives, Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
02

Scoop meatball mixture into 20 small balls, about 2 tablespoons each. Using your hands, flatten each ball and press one cube mozzarella into the center, then seal meat tightly around cheese. Repeat with remaining balls and mozzarella.
03

In a medium high-sided skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add meatballs and cook, turning every few minutes, until deeply golden all over and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
04

Using tongs, transfer meatballs to the bowl with buffalo mustard mixture and toss to coat. Transfer meatballs to a serving platter.
05

Drizzle meatballs with blue cheese dressing and garnish with more chives. Serve with celery and carrot sticks.
