Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 white onion (minced)
  • 1 to 2 jalapenos (minced)
  • 3/4 cup plain bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded cheese
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 4 ounces cream cheese

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly spray a 9x13 pan or four sided baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine ground beef, onion, jalapenos, bread crumbs, cheddar cheese, milk, Worcestershire sauce, basil, and salt. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Shape into 20 roughly shaped meatballs. Divide the cream cheese into 20 tablespoon-sized pieces, one for each meatball. Working one at a time, take a meatball and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place a piece of cream cheese in the center and wrap the meatball around the cheese, sealing it inside the middle.
  • Place the fully shaped meatballs into the prepared baking pan.
  • Cook in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Serve hot.
