 Ingredients List

  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
  • 1.5 oz cheddar, cut into 10 small cubes
  • 1 cup prepared macaroni and cheese, chilled (I used this Quick Stove Top Mac & Cheese Recipe)
  • 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce (optional)

 Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Combine beef, onion, egg, panko bread crumbs, shredded cheese and pepper. Mix just until combined (over mixing will create tough meatballs).
3. Divide meat into 10 equal pieces. Squish each piece of meat into a thin circle. Top with 1 slightly heaping tablespoon of macaroni (as much as can fit) and 1 cheddar cube.
4. Fold sides up pinching to seal and form into a meatball. Place meatballs on a parchment lined pan and brush with barbecue sauce.
5. Bake 24-26 minutes or until the center of each meatball reaches an internal temperature of 160 °F.
