Giant pasta stuffed meatball

My son came home from college a couple weeks ago and immediately started talking about a giant meatball that he & his friends were going to make..... today was the day ..... they took over my kitchen and this is what they came up with...........

they started out with about 5lbs of ground beef, added oatmeal, some eggs, milk, a bunch of herbs and mixed it all up. then they started the base of the "meatball"

they took a lb. of pasta, a jar of sauce , some grated parmesan and a lb. of diced mozzarella & mixed together and put into meatball

plopped a top piece on

shaped a bit more

and into the Traeger (his second cook on the Traeger)

then they poured some more sauce on the top & cheese, into the oven for a few minutes

the cut meatball

it was cheesy

a slice

It was good, it tasted like a giant pasta smoked meatloaf. Wasn't my creation though.
