Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 white onion minced
- 1 to 2 jalapeños minced
- 3/4 cup bread crumbs plain
- 1/2 cup cheese finely shredded
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
- 4 ounces cream cheese
Instructions
- 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.
