Steps:
- Bring a dutch oven 1/2 full of water to a boil. (I use a little EVO and salt. one the salt helps quicken the boil time , and two the oil helps the noodles from sticking together.).
- Place your noodles in the boiling water and cook until they are soft. Once done, strain the noodles, and mix the noodles with the sauce. Set aside to cool, well be stuffing the meatballs with the spaghetti and sauce.
- Combine ground beef, eggs, milk, bread crumbs, sea salt, white pepper, oregano, parsley, garlic. and parmesan cheese, until its well mixed together.
- Now there are a few ways to hollow out your patties, either with a small bowl or ramekin. I used a hamburger stuffer, then reshaped the meatball, so its round and not a patty. Either way works, once again that is up to your discretion and whatever you find easiest.
- After your patty is shaped, spoon in about 1/2 cup of cooked spaghetti and sauce in your hollowed patty. Then place the other patty on top and seal generously. Then roll the meatball in flour to help the seal the patties together.
- Place your formed meatballs in a shallow baking pan, spoon extra sauce over each meatball, and let a layer of sauce cover the pan. Sprinkle some extra parmasean cheese over each meatball. Approximately every 15 minutes baste each meatball generously with sauce and cook at 350 - 400 degrees for about 45 - 60 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easy clean up) and place a rack in the pan (I use a rack like you use to cool cookies) In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, torn bread, water, onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper and egg. Blend well. Divide meat into 8 equal portions. Form meatball around a cube of cheese. Wrap with one slice of bacon, then turn the meatball 90 degrees and wrap in another slice of bacon. Place meatballs, bacon seam-side down on the rack in the prepared pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until bacon is nicely browned and beginning to look crisp (the bacon won't crisp on the bottom, FYI).

STUFFED PEPPERS STYLE MEATBALLS
Kind of an "inside-out" style of stuffed peppers. I came up with this recipe to use up the tomato juice I had left over after making stuffed peppers. If you want more flavor in your tomato juice, try dicing up some extra bell pepper and add to the tomato juice while the meatballs cook up.
