Steps

Preheat the grill to 400 degrees and pour in Bear Mountain BBQ Chef’s Choice pellets. Take out 3-4 mozzarella cheese sticks and slice them into 1-inch pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and next 5 ingredients (only use half of the Italian herb seasoning), mixing until well incorporated.
Next, take a large pinch of the mixture and flatten it in your hand. Place a slice of mozzarella in the center, then form the mixture into a tiny meatball. Repeat this process as needed and transfer the meatballs to a skillet.
Once the grill has preheated, add the meatballs and cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping as needed. Once the meatballs begin to brown, add in the marinara sauce and let the meatballs simmer until they reach at least 155 degrees.
Transfer meatballs to a plate, garnish with parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
Use toothpicks to serve them as meatballs or add them into a pasta dish.
Serve & enjoy!
