Cheddar Beef Meatballs

Print Recipe

These Cheddar Beef Meatballs are comforting and filled with sharp cheddar, making them a favorite for busy weeknights and game-day snacks.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground beef
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup Green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/4 cup Parsley, chopped
  • 1 Egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly oil it.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder, chopped green onions, onion powder, chopped parsley, egg, salt and pepper, breadcrumbs, and the shredded cheddar. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, about 1½ inches in diameter.
  4. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the outside is browned and an instant-read thermometer registers 160°F (71°C) in the center.
  6. Let the meatballs rest for a few minutes on the pan before serving warm.

Notes

For a lighter texture, consider using panko breadcrumbs. You can replace the egg with a flax ‘egg’ for an egg-free binder. Adding a splash of olive oil can help keep lean meatballs moist.
