mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while still being melty.

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a lower-calorie option with a cheesy flavor.

In a bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef, 1 cup of breadcrumbs, 1 egg, black pepper, complete seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder.

Mix the ingredients together using your hands until well combined.

Form the meat mixture into balls, flattening them and placing mozzarella cheese in the center, sealing them completely.

Place the formed meatballs in the freezer for at least half an hour to firm up.

Heat olive oil in a pot over medium-low flame and add the meatballs to fry them.

Fry the meatballs, flipping them over, and cover the pot to let them steam while cooking.

Add chopped onion and garlic to the pot and cover to cook until translucent.

Pour in 14 oz of your favorite pasta sauce and flip the meatballs to coat them in the sauce.

Add red pepper flakes, oregano, and sugar to balance the acidity of the sauce, mixing well.

Cover the pot and let the meatballs cook for an additional 8 to 10 minutes.
