Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Take a small portion of the meat mixture, flatten it in your palm, place a cube of mozzarella in the center, and fold the meat around to fully enclose the cheese.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs for about 5 minutes, turning for even browning.
  5. In the same skillet, add butter and let it melt, then toss in chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.
  6. Add minced garlic to the onion and sauté for an additional minute until aromatic.
  7. Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir for about 2 minutes to form a roux.
  8. Gradually pour in beef broth and Guinness while stirring continuously. Increase heat and bring to a gentle simmer.
  9. Add Worcestershire sauce, then gently place the browned meatballs back into the skillet, ensuring they are well coated.
  10. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  11. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
