Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine ground beef, cheddar cheese, onion, bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Step 2: Shape the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
- Step 3: Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Step 4: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Step 5: Serve immediately. These can be served as appetizers or a fun twist on a classic cheeseburger. You can add a side of your favorite dipping sauce (e.g., ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce).
Notes
- Store leftover Cheeseburger Bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For perfectly reheated bombs, use your microwave on a low setting for added moisture or reheat gently in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes, avoiding over-drying.
- Serve these delightful bites with a vibrant sriracha mayo for a surprising kick, alongside your favorite burger fixings.
- To prevent dry bombs, avoid over-mixing the meat mixture; gently combining ingredients ensures a juicy result.
