Jalapeño Popper Filling

In a large bowl, combine the Monterrey Jack cheese, cream cheese, jalapeños, bacon, and garlic.
Form 2 teaspoons of the mixture into a tight ball, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cheese mixture.
Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and chill for about 20-30 minutes.

Meatballs

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the beef, pork, egg, parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix together until just combined.
In a medium bowl, combine the milk, breadcrumbs, garlic, and onion.
Combine the milk mixture with meat mixture, being careful not to overwork the ingredients.
Form into golfball-sized meatballs (about 2 tablespoons per meatball), and place on the lined baking sheet.
Create a well in each meatball by gently pressing your thumb into the center. Place a ball of the filling mixture into the well and mold the meat around it. Roll the meatball in the palms of your hands to form an even ball and place it back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining meatballs and filling.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-28 minutes, or until the outsides are browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
