Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds ground veal
1 pound ground beef
Salt and pepper
2 cloves garlic, grated or minced
1 large egg, plus 1 egg yolk
2 handfuls grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
2 handfuls plain bread crumbs
3 tablespoons sliced or finely chopped sage leaves
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces Gorgonzola
1 tablespoon butter
2 fresh bay leaves
1 onion, finely chopped
1 cup chicken stock
1 (15-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Place meat in a mixing bowl and season with salt, pepper, add in garlic, eggs, cheese, bread crumbs and sage. Mix meat, roll into 8 large balls and arrange in a baking dish. Coat balls with 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Using the end of a wooden spoon, make an indentation half way into each ball and fill the cavity with some Gorgonzola. Bake until golden and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.

Heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and butter in a sauce pot over medium heat, add bay and onions and season with salt and pepper. Add chicken stock and tomatoes and heat through, stir in cream, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer to thicken slightly 8 to 10 minutes.

Ladle sauce into shallow bowls and top with big stuffed meatballs and potatoes alongside, if desired.

Even great leftovers
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This meal was great. I wouldnt change a thing. It was easy to make and still taste great the next day. The Gorgonozola... cheese gives the meatballs so much flavor.Read more

Very tasty, and very filling!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made just the meatballs because I am a huge gorgonzola fan, and they were excellent. They don't keep very long in the... fridge, though, so make sure if you have extras, to eat them within a day or two.Read more

Absolutely Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these exactly as the recipe stated-with the tomato gravy--WOW! Both complemented each other beautifully! I made the... spinach mashed potatoes as well-with only 1 box of spinach (after reading other reviews). The meal as a whole was incredible! Very satisfying--and filling--had leftovers for days! (not complaining). It did take me a heck of alot longer that 30 minutes--but well worth it! Will definitely make again!Read more

PERFECT FOR MEAT & POTATO LOVERS!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these along w/the spinach & garlic mashed potatos on this episode & it was a definite crowd pleaser! The presentation... of the cheese oozing out of the meatballs made it look a lot harder than it was & impressed our friends that we had over for dinner:)) My boyfriend keeps asking me to make these meatballs every other week now. They were so delicious everyone ate 2++ meatballs & they were HUGE! Read more

Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was delicious! I served it with mashed potatoes and a quick steamed veggie mix. easy, tasty and quick on a... week night. I used 2 tsp of dried sage since I didn't have fresh, 2 dried bay leaves because I didn't have fresh, no parmesiano regiano, just grated and flaked parmesean, pork because I didn't see veal at the store ....and it was just grrrrreat!! Left overs (sauce & meatball) made a great meatball pizza!. The only thing I'd do differently is spray the pan I put the meatballs on to bake...they sort of stuck to the pan.Read more
