INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon mayonaise
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Dash of pepper
- 12 to 14 small mozzarella balls
- 6 to 8 large green olives
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Mix the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise until the mixture comes together.
- To create the eyeballs, your child can use a butter knife to cut the center out of a cheese ball. Then cut an olive in half and position into the center of the cheese, creating a spooky eye.
- After everyone has washed their hands, invite your child to roll golf-ball-size meatballs and then use his thumb to press an indentation in the middle of the ball. Now he can place the cheese eyeball into the meatball and press and mold the meat around the cheese eye.
- Invite your child to continue making eyeball meatballs, and then place them in a foil-lined baking pan.
- Bake the meatballs for 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the meat is cooked through. While the ghoulish meatballs are baking, prepare your favorite pasta and sauce so everything is ready when your meatballs are.
- Remove the finished meatballs, and serve over cooked pasta.
