Whether you serve them as an appetizer, weeknight dinner, or party snack, these cheesy meatballs are a crowd-pleaser that delivers all the joy of a cheeseburger in every bite.

Ingredients

  • For the Meatballs:
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • ⅔ cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons grated onion
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 egg
  • For the Stuffing:
  • 6 cheddar cheese sticks, cut into 4 pieces each
  • Optional Toppings:
  • Dill pickles
  • Tomato slices
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Spicy dipping sauce or burger sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, mix ground beef, bread crumbs, grated onion, mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, and egg until just combined.
  3. Form and Stuff: Divide mixture into 24 portions. Flatten each, place a piece of cheddar in the center, and wrap the meat around it to form a ball.
  4. Bake: Arrange meatballs on the baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve: Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm with pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, and dipping sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Chill meatballs before baking to help prevent cheese leakage.
  • For slider-style, serve each meatball on a mini bun.
  • Try different cheeses like pepper jack or mozzarella for variety.
  • Serve with classic burger toppings or over pasta for a twist.
