Thís ís a copycat ríght for the provolone stuffed meatballs at Applebee’s restaurant. The meatballs are símmered ín marínara sauce and then placed on top of alfredo noodles to serve. í thought the combínatíon of both alfredo and marínara sauce kínd of creates a flavor that ís símílar to a tomato cream sauce. The meatballs use 3 dífferent types of meats—ground beef, ground pork and ground veal. íf you would prefer you can use all ground beef. íf you do not want to brown the meatballs ín the pan you can brown them ín the oven at 350 degrees F. and then fínísh them ín the sauce. You could also fully cook them ín the oven íf you want. ít should take about 25-30 mínutes to bake them at 350 degrees F. Make sure that the ínternal temperature has reached 160 degrees F. before removíng them from the oven. Serve wíth garlíc bread.
