Cheddar Meatballs image

I've been tweaking my old meatball recipe over the years, and finally came up with a version everyone loves. And as we all know---everything's better with CHEESE! This also makes a great burger, just omit the parsley and oregano and try substituting the cheddar for pepper jack cheese.

These meatballs were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.

I'm not a big fan of cheddar cheese, so I used mozzarella instead. The meatballs were still delicious!

These meatballs are so easy to make, and they're always a hit with my family. I love that I can make them ahead of time and freeze them. Then I just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve.

I made these meatballs for a party last weekend, and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them. I'll definitely be making them again.

Meh. I wasn't really impressed with these meatballs. They were kind of bland and boring.

These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste. I think I might add some more milk or broth to the mixture next time.

I love the cheesy gooey center of these meatballs! They're so flavorful and juicy. I always make a double batch because they disappear so quickly.

I tried this recipe for the first time last night, and it was a huge success! The meatballs were so moist and cheesy, and the sauce was delicious. My whole family loved them.

Cheddar meatballs are a staple in my house! I make them at least once a month, and they're always a hit. I love that they're so easy to make, and they're always juicy and flavorful.
