Cheesy Garlic Meatball Bombs
Description
This recipe uses refrigerated pizza dough pressed into a muffin tin to form small cups that bake briefly to a light crisp. Each cup is seasoned with a garlic-onion-black pepper mix and then filled with one cooked meatball, marinara sauce, and shredded mozzarella. A short second baking melts the cheese and crisps the edges of the dough. Parmesan cheese and fresh minced parsley add finishing touches. The texture combines tender meatballs with chewy, golden dough and gooey cheese, accented by the tomato sauce. These bursts of savory flavor make a convenient finger food or accompaniment to salads and soups.
