Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ cup dry bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup finely minced onion
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (8 ounce) package sharp Cheddar cheese, cut into 8 cubes
  • 4 slices bacon, cut in half
  • 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's®)

Information

  • Prep Time: 15 mins
  • Cook Time: 30 mins
  • Total Time: 45 mins
  • Servings: 8
  • Yield: 8 meatballs

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place a cooking rack on top of a baking sheet.
  • Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, steak seasoning, salt, and pepper in a bowl; mix until combined. Shape mixture into 8 meatballs, forming each one around a cube of Cheddar cheese. Wrap each meatball with 1/2 slice of bacon and place seam-side down on the cooking rack, leaving 1 to 2 inches between each one.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and continue baking until meatballs are browned, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
  • Remove from oven and drizzle meatballs with barbecue sauce.
