  • - Get out 2 pieces of tin foil and spray them with non-stick cooking spray.
  • - Divide meat mixture into 12 individual meatballs trying to get as close to even as possible (doesn’t need to be perfect)
  • - Place 6 meatballs on each piece of foil and top with ½ cup of Mozzarella cheese on each. Fold up sides of the foil and tightly wrap the meatball packets
