Top that with some vermicelli that had been tossed in the sauce too. Another piece of cheese. For the crust, we made one order of our standard pizza dough and then cut out 3 1/2” circles.

I am always looking for appetizer ideas, especially around New Years time, and at Christmas this year, my vegetarian aunt came up with this one. Why my vegetarian aunt thought of meatball wellington, I will never know, but who cares, it is a fantastic idea! Her idea was wrapping each meatball individually, but I thought that was too much work.

I made the meatballs into a mini meatloaf and wrapped it similar to an actual beef wellington which is normally made with a whole beef tenderloin. Instead of the mushroom paste normally between the meat and pastry crust, I made a tomato sauce that was super thick and pasty. Making the pasty sauce, a recipe is below. The meatball mixture laid out on the baking sheet with a slice of mozzarella in the middle. Then it is rolled up. Browned under the broiler. The pasty sauce is spread on the pastry. Only a slight loss of filling. So tasty! These would make a perfect New Years app. Bake this at 400 for about 25 minutes or until it is nicely browned. Impossibly Easy Taco Pie Recipe.
