Where to find ingredients
You can find ground beef, eggs, and mozzarella cheese in the meat and dairy aisles of local food stores and supermarkets. Onion soup mix is typically found in the dry goods or soup aisle. If unavailable, a seasoning blend of dried onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper serves as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, and the packet of onion soup mix until you have a uniform, well-mixed dough.
- Take small portions of the meat mixture and flatten them out onto the palm of your hand.
- Place a spoonful of the shredded mozzarella cheese into the center of the flattened meat patty.
- Carefully fold the meat around the cheese, shaping it into a round meatball and ensuring the seal is tight.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
- Fry the meatballs in the hot oil for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides and cooked through.
