Spicy Swiss Cheese Stuffed Meatballs

Instructions

1. 1

   **Preheat the Oven**: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   **Prepare the Meatball Mixture**: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, egg, red pepper flakes, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is combined.

3. 3

   **Stuff the Meatballs**: Take a small amount of the meat mixture and flatten it in your hand. Place a cube of Swiss cheese in the center, then fold the meat around the cheese and shape it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

4. 4

   **Bake the Meatballs**: Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until they are cooked through and browned.

5. 5

   **Heat the Sauce**: While the meatballs are baking, heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper for that extra kick.

6. 6

   **Combine**: Once the meatballs are done, you can either serve them on their own or add them directly into the sauce to simmer for a few minutes.

7. 7

   **Serve**: Serve your Spicy Swiss Cheese Stuffed Meatballs over spaghetti, on a sub roll, or on their own with a sprinkle of more Parmesan and fresh parsley.
