Four-Cheese Stuffed Meatballs

These are for when you want to really impress without spending all day in the kitchen. A blend of ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and provolone gets tucked inside each meatball and it melts into something incredible. Pair with marinara or eat them plain — both are valid.
