-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
Cut each bell pepper in half across the middle. Clean out the insides and remove the stems to make little cups and place in a baking dish.
-
Mix the meat, eggs, garlic, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper together and divide into 8 portions.
-
Take each portion and roll into a ball and then flatten. Add 2 tablespoons of cheese in the middle and then close the meat over it and form into a meatball. Continue with the rest of the meatballs
-
Gently place the meatballs into the pepper cups and then pour the marinara sauce over them.
-
Bake for 30 minutes and then take them out and sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella on top and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted.

* Next time I make these I am going to try string cheese. They might be a lot easier to form the meatballs around. I have not tried this yet but wanted to offer it as a suggestion.
