Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped spinach, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.
  2. Flatten a small amount of the meat mixture in your hand, place a cube of mozzarella in the center, and encase it with the meat, rolling it into a ball.
