BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Meatballs – flavor explosion in every bite
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to avoid any sticking.
Mix the Meatball Ingredients: In a spacious bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion, parsley, egg, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture gently until everything is just combined—be careful not to overmix.
Form the Meatballs: Shape the mixture into meatballs, roughly 1 inch in diameter. Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there’s space between each.
Add the Bacon and Cheese: Create a small indentation in the center of each meatball using your finger. Fill this indentation with crumbled bacon and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, pressing gently to secure.
Bake the Meatballs: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for 18-20 minutes or until they are cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
