Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1/4 pound bacon (chopped very small)
  • 1 cup panko or plain breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon granulated onion or onion powder
  • 4 - 6 ounces thinly sliced cheddar or pepper jack cheese (cut into 1" square pieces)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine the beef, pork, and bacon in a large mixing bowl. Use your hands to crumble them together. Add the breadcrumbs, eggs, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Mix everything together with your hands or a large spoon. Scoop and shape into small 1" meatballs and place on two foil lined baking sheets. Bake for 18 minutes.
  • Remove meatballs from the oven and increase the oven temperature to broil. Top each meatball with a small square of cheese and broil an additional 90 seconds to 2 minutes, just until the cheese has melted. Enjoy!
