Cheeseburger Stuffed Meatballs

These delicious Cheeseburger Stuffed Meatballs combine all the flavors of a classic cheeseburger in bite-sized form. Juicy ground beef surrounds gooey cheddar cheese, and the tangy ketchup-mustard glaze gives them an extra burst of flavor. Perfect for a party appetizer or a fun twist on dinner!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 oz cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup mustard
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

Directions:

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Prepare the Meat Mixture:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
  3. Form the Meatballs:
    Divide the meat mixture into equal portions (about 1.5-2 inches each). Flatten each portion into a thin patty.
  4. Stuff with Cheese:
    Place a cube of cheddar cheese in the center of each patty. Fold the meat around the cheese, sealing the edges to form a meatball that fully encloses the cheese.
  5. Prepare the Glaze:
    In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar to create a tangy glaze.
  6. Bake:
    Arrange the stuffed meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the ketchup-mustard glaze. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked and the cheese inside is melted.
  7. Serve:
    Serve the cheeseburger stuffed meatballs hot with additional sauce for dipping if desired. Enjoy!
