2 lbs. ground beef
1 cup Italian style bread crumbs
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
3 eggs, slightly beaten
8 sticks (1 oz each) string cheese
1 can (2/14 oz) sliced ripe olives, drained
1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce, heated
--------
Heat oven to 375°. Spray pans with cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix beef, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and eggs. Shape into 48 (1-inch) balls. Place on pans.
Cut each cheese stick into 6 pieces. Gently press a piece of cheese into each meatball.
Bake uncovered 20 to 25 minutes or until meatballs are thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in center. Place olive slices over cheese on each meatball. Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
