Description

Cheeseburger Meatballs Ever are your new go-to comfort food, bursting with flavor and perfect for any occasion. These juicy meatballs combine ground beef and melted cheese for a satisfying bite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic during the last minute.
  3. Mix It Up: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, sautéed onions and garlic, breadcrumbs, shredded cheese, beaten egg, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  4. Shape Those Meatballs: Form the mixture into meatballs about the size of golf balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet with space between each.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and browned on top.
  6. Serve with Style: Serve meatballs on plates or skewers with extra ketchup or dipping sauces like BBQ or ranch dressing.
