LXINGTON SC (WOLO) – So when it has cheese and beef, it can’t be bad, right?  Vaughan and The Manmade Gourmet were willing to test the theory. Per usual, we tried to stick, as best we could, to the recipe that we found… There are only a few things you need for this one: 4 to 8 slices of l ow-moisture mozzarella cheese 1/2 cup cooked ground beef, turkey, or pork sausage Pinch of salt and black pepper Optional enrichment: 2 tbsp heavy cream and 1 tbsp butter for a quick pan sauce How to make it:  Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make the shells by cutting mozzarella slices in half and placing them on the sheet. Bake for 5 minutes until soft and edges start to turn golden. Add the filling by placing a small spoonful of cooked ground meat onto one half of each warm cheese piece. Fold and seal the cheese over the meat to form a pocket, pressing the edges gently together. Bake again for another 4 to 7 minutes to set the cheese structure. THIS is where the inspiration came from! https://feelgoodfoodie.net/recipe/baked-feta-pasta/ Lessons learned / tips: A little less meat in each Or more cheese If you have a favorite or “viral” recipe you want us to try our hands at, email [email protected]   ABOUT THE TYLER RYAN: Tyler Ryan is an award winning television and radio personality, weather forecaster, writer, investigative journalist, and professional emcee.  He appears daily on ABC Columbia’s Good Morning Columbia, as well as hosting the syndicated radio program Carolina Cares on the South Carolina Radio Network, and the iHeart Radio Network.  Tyler also regularly appears as a criminal expert and journalist on regional and national crime based programs like Snapped and Killer Couples.  You can contact him directly via EMAIL Or on the socials: Tyler’s Instagram  // Tyler’s Facebook   Categories: Digital Exclusives and Features Tags: carnivore ravioli, Crysty Vaughan, love it or chuck it, manmade gourmet, Tasty Tuesday, tyler ryan ...read more read less
