Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly for about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Flatten a small handful of the meat mixture in your palm, place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center, fold the meat around it, and roll into a smooth meatball. Repeat until all are formed.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and brown them for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally.
  5. Remove the meatballs and set aside. In the same skillet, add the butter and onion, sautéing until onions are translucent (about 5 minutes).
  6. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute. Stir in flour to form a roux, cooking for about 2 minutes.
  7. Gradually add beef broth and Guinness stout while stirring to prevent lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer for 3-4 minutes until gravy thickens.
  8. Add Worcestershire sauce and place the meatballs back into the skillet, ensuring they're well coated with gravy. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F / 71°C).
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over mashed potatoes or pasta.
