Equipment

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef 80/20
1 cup bread crumbs
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
zest of half a lemon
4 ounces Brie Cheese 1/2 inch cubes
1/2 cup cranberry sauce

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F.
In a large mixing bowl combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, and spices. Mix well.
Cut the Brie cheese into about 1/2 inch cubes. Use a cookie scoop to measure out equal portions of the meatball mixture.
Form a dimple or pocket in the center of the meatball with your thumb. Place the cube of cheese in the center and pinch the meat up and around the cheese. Roll between hands to form a nice ball. Place formed meatballs onto the 12 inch skillet as the rest are finished.
Cook in the oven for 20 minutes. Halfway through remove the skillet from the oven and spoon or brush cranberry sauce over the meatballs. Return to the oven for the remaining 10 minutes.
