1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 large egg
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon mustard
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and mustard.
Take a portion of the meat mixture (about 2 tablespoons), flatten it into a patty, and place a teaspoon of grated cheddar cheese in the center.
Fold the edges around the cheese, sealing it inside, and form a bite-sized ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Place the stuffed meatballs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
For added flavor, you can substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella, pepper jack, or other cheeses of your choice.
If you prefer a spicier version, add crushed red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the meat mixture.
For a lighter version, swap ground beef with turkey or chicken.
You can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
