Meatball with Cheese is a savory dish often rooted in Italian-American cuisine, blending juicy, seasoned ground meat—typically beef, pork, or a mix—with melted cheese for added richness. The meatballs are typically crafted using breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic, and herbs like parsley or oregano to enhance flavor and texture. They are either baked or pan-fried and served on their own, with pasta, or in a sandwich. While high in protein from the meat and calcium from the cheese, this dish can also be calorie-dense and higher in saturated fats depending on the ingredients and preparation method. Opting for lean meats, reduced-fat cheese, or baking instead of frying can make it a healthier option. Meatballs with Cheese are a versatile comfort food often paired with marinara sauce for a perfect balance of indulgence and homestyle flavor.
