Roll into meatballs. You should make around 15 meatballs
Heat 1 tbsp cooking oil in a large pan. Once it is hot, add your meatballs
Cook for 8 minutes, making sure to brown all sides. Meatballs will finish cooking under the broiler.
Turn on your oven broiler.
Pour sauce into a cast iron pan, or a pan that is oven safe.
Slice mozzarella cheese into thin slices. Cut in half. Place a slice over each meatball. Put two slices on each meatball if you feel wild. :)
Place meatball pan under the broiler and cook until the mozzarella had melted, brown, and bubbled.
