Directions

• To make the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ground beef, onions, breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Once combined, roll the mixture into 1- to 2-inch balls. Heat a medium cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs, and sear until the top and bottom sides are cooked and nicely browned. Remove the meatballs from the pan and place them in the oven to bake for approximately 10-15 minutes depending on their size. To make the dish: Continue to heat the oven at 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a baking pan. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten each piece of biscuit dough into a 4- or 5-inch round. Place a slice of mozzarella in the center of each round, followed by 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce, 1 meatball, and an additional slice of mozzarella. Fold the dough around the meatball and mozzarella, pressing the edges to securely seal it. Place the seam side down for spreading on the baking sheet. Continue until each biscuit is prepared. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, remaining minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt. Brush each dough ball with the mixture until each is evenly coated. Place in the oven to bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
