Preparation
- In a large bowl, add the beef, pork, onion, garlic, bread crumbs, beaten eggs, salt, pepper, dried basil, dried oregano, and dried parsley, red pepper flakes. Mix together to combine.
- Pick up 2 ounces (55 g) of meat, press into a flat patty on the palm of your hand.
- Place a mozzarella stick into the center of the patty and wrap the meatball mixture around it to seal it inside. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
- Take the meatball-wrapped stick of cheese and dredge it in the flour, coat it in beaten egg, and then roll it in bread crumbs. Repeat with the rest.
- Place a batch of the sticks into oil at 325°F (180°C), and cook until the outside is golden brown and the beef is cooked through, 5 minutes. Then remove the mozzarella sticks from the fryer and drain on a wire rack. Season with salt.
- Serve the meatball mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce.
- Enjoy!

My family LOVED these. They definitely take longer than 30 minutes to make but they’re worth it. When you wrap the cheese use as little meat as you can get away with. It’ll help them cook through while getting crispy so you don’t bite into raw meat.

The first three I did was for 5 minutes and they came out a little too crispy, so the next two batches I did at 4 and a half minutes and they came out perfect!!

Instead of frying, I baked mine at 350 degrees for 20 minutes but made sure to grease the pan and drizzle a little oil on the meatball sticks. Really good. 😀
