Where to find ingredients
Ground beef and mozzarella are readily available at local butchers and supermarkets in the meat and dairy aisles. For the onion soup mix, check the seasoning or dried pantry goods aisle. If unavailable, a blend of dried minced onion, garlic powder, and beef bouillon can serve as a substitute.

- Take small portions of the meat mixture and flatten them out onto the palm of your hand
- Place a generous spoonful of shredded mozzarella cheese into the center of the flattened meat
- Carefully fold the meat edges over the cheese, shaping each piece into a firm, round meatball
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat
- Fry the meatballs in the hot oil for approximately 10 minutes, ensuring they are golden brown on all sides and thoroughly cooked through
