Bacon Wrapped Cheese Stuffed Meatballs Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Susan52

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
2 slices white bread, torn into small pieces (see NOTES)
2 tbs water
2 tbs finely chopped onion
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 egg
16 slices bacon (in UK it's streaky bacon--don't use thick cut)
8 - 1/2-inch cubes sharp cheddar cheese -OR- mozzarella

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easy clean up) and place a rack in the pan (I use a rack like you use to cool cookies) In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, torn bread, water, onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper and egg. Blend well. Divide meat into 8 equal portions. Form meatball around a cube of cheese. Wrap with one slice of bacon, then turn the meatball 90 degrees and wrap in another slice of bacon. Place meatballs, bacon seam-side down on the rack in the prepared pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until bacon is nicely browned and beginning to look crisp (the bacon won't crisp on the bottom, FYI).

Not a fan of these meatballs. They were dry and the cheese filling was bland. I won't be making these again.

These meatballs were easy to make and they tasted great! I used ground turkey instead of beef, and I added some chopped spinach to the meatball mixture. The cheese filling was a nice surprise. I will definitely be making these again.

These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add some more milk or bread crumbs to the meatball mixture next time. The cheese filling was good, but I would have liked it to be more gooey.

I followed the recipe exactly and the meatballs turned out great! They were moist and flavorful, and the bacon and cheese made them extra special. I served them with mashed potatoes and gravy, and they were a hit with my family.

These meatballs were so easy to make and they turned out perfectly! I used a muffin tin to bake them in, and they came out nice and browned. The cheese filling was gooey and delicious. I will definitely be making these again.

I made these meatballs for dinner last night and they were a big success! My family loved them. The bacon added a nice crispy flavor to the meatballs, and the cheese filling was gooey and melted perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.

These bacon-wrapped cheese-stuffed meatballs were a hit at my party! They were easy to make and so delicious. I used a combination of ground beef and ground pork, and I added some chopped onion and garlic to the meatball mixture. The cheese filling w
