Notes

  • FAQs and Kylee's Notes  
  • Make them minis! Halve each meatball, and split the biscuit dough, use a mini muffin pan. These make a wonderful appetizer.
  • Switch out the mozzarella for provolone, cheddar or swiss - whatever you like, is whatever goes!
  • Eat these cold! Pack them in a lunch box with some extra sauce for dipping. Your family will thank you.
  • Make ahead and freeze, right before the baking step. No need to thaw, just add an extra 8 minutes in the oven and keep the garlic butter with the frozen meatball bombs.
