My mother-in-law would make these delicious meatballs for events and gathering and I thought they were the most mouth-watering pieces of beefy goodness. Over the years I have changed the recipe, but only slightly. These meatballs are perfect for parties and pot-lucks. You will be surprised how easy they are to make.

To spruce up the recipe, I added shredded cheese. My easy meatball recipe gets a little zestier when you add Stella Parmesan cheese. Holiday cheese recipes don’t have to just be a cheese and crackers. There is something wonderful about having adding cheese to your traditional holiday recipes.
These meatballs are not just for serving as appetizers during a big holiday dinner, they can be eaten anytime. #StellaCheeses Share on X
My local grocery store had some amazing Stella cheese to choose from. The cheeses are rich and full of flavor. With an Italian history of traditional cheesemaking, Stella® cheese is the perfect addition to these meatballs.
