Cheesy Volcano Meatballs

This one went much better. We had this for lunch today, since Steve has been coming home for lunches on Tuesdays. Everyone liked this one, including the dog. Wait, we don't have a dog. Well, I bet if we did, he would've liked it. It's from Kraft Food & Family Fall 2007

Cheesy Volcano Meatballs
1 lb lean ground beef
6 ritz crackers, finely crushed
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
3/4 cup spaghetti sauce, divided
12 kraft cheddar cheese cubes (or if the Wal-mart doesn't have these, which ours doesn't, just buy a block of cheese (such as Heluva Good) and cut some into like 1/2 inch square chunks. That's what I did)
4 hot dog buns, split

Preheat oven to 400. Combine first 4 ingredients, using 1/4 cup of spaghetti sauce. Shape into 12 meatballs (mine actually made 15, and I could've gone smaller and probably will next time) and place 2 inches apart in shallow baking pan sprayed w/ cooking spray. Press 1 cheese cube deep into center of each meatball. Bake 14 minutes or until cooked through. Then microwave remaining 1/2 cup of sauce. Fill each bun w/ 3 meatballs and top w/ sauce. So yummy. This is the first recipe for homemade meatballs that I have actually liked, so we may have something here. I'll definitely make this one again. Talk to you all soon!!
