3. Remove cheese from freezer and set aside.
4. Scoop out about 4 tablespoons of meat mixture and roll into a ball. Gently push a piece of chilled mozzarella into the middle of the meatball. Roll the ball in your hands to cover the hole where the mozzarella cheese was pushed in.
5. Place meatballs 1 inch apart on a greased baking sheet and bake at 400°for 15-20 minutes until browned and cheese is melty.
6. -For meatball subs, place cooked meatballs in heater marinara sauce
-For appetizer meatballs, place on a serving platter, add frilly toothpicks, and provide small bowls of your favorite marinara (no sugar added) or alfredo sauce for dipping.

Notes:
**These can also be made ahead and frozen! Prepare the meatballs as instructed in the recipe but instead of putting them straight into the oven, just place them side by side in a zip lock bag or Tupperware-like container and store in the freezer. When ready to cook them, increase cooking time slightly to allow for thawing.
***This recipe makes about a dozen large meatballs. This works great for an appetizer or side dish. If you want to use this for a main dish, I’d recommend doubling the recipe to be safe

Imagine a delicious meatball sub WITH roll on Step 1 of The Metabolism Miracle! Make it a reality like this……..

The Metabolism Miracle lifestyle program is a carbcentric lifestyle program. On Steps One and Two of this program, it would not be possible to enjoy 1/2 meatball sub on a roll. (A typical 6″ sub roll contains about 45 grams net carb!!!!) Unless you use a truly neutral sub roll….this type of lunch or dinner would be impossible. And let’s face it, sometimes you just want some bread or a roll or bagel or pizza crust or…………

Enter rolls and sub rolls from The Great Low Carb Bread Company! (http://www.greatlowcarb.com.).
