Cheese-Stuffed Meatballs

Recipe Source by Britni Vigil

Appliance used: Ninja® Foodi® 2-Basket Air Fryer. Make sure the meatballs stay in a single layer and aren’t touching each other in the air fryer. That means that you can cook double the amount of meatballs at once! Tip: To prevent the meatballs from sticking to your hands, lightly coat your hands with olive oil.
