Ingredients
- • Ground beef: 1 pound
- • Italian sausage: 1/2 pound
- • Breadcrumbs: 1/2 cup
- • Parmesan cheese, grated: 1/4 cup
- • Egg: 1 large
- • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Dried oregano: 1 teaspoon
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade): 1 pound
- • Mozzarella cheese, shredded: 1 cup
- • Butter: 1/4 cup (melted)
- • Garlic, minced: 2 cloves
- • Fresh parsley, chopped: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- 3 Shape the meat mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly.
- 4 Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut the dough into 12 squares.
- 5 Place a meatball and a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough square. Fold the dough over the meatball and cheese, pinching the edges to seal and form a ball.
- 6 Arrange the stuffed dough balls seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter mixed with minced garlic.
- 7 Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • These meatball-stuffed garlic bread rolls are a hearty meal on their own, but they pair beautifully with a simple side salad to balance the richness. For a truly indulgent experience, serve them with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. A crisp, cold beverage like a light beer or a sparkling water with a twist of lemon complements the savory flavors perfectly. Alternatively, a robust red wine like a Chianti or a full-bodied Zinfandel would elevate the experience to gourmet levels.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through. For best results, avoid microwaving as it may result in a soggy texture.
