BAKED CHEESY CHEDDAR
MEATBALLS
Delicious meatballs with amazing flavor. You’ll make these again and again! These are easier than frying in a pan, I think. The oven does the work and I always like that aspect to recipes. I don't often make meatballs and now I'm wondering why that is. So tasty with some faux mashed "potatoes" (cauliflower). Stay tuned, I'll think of some other meatballs to share soon.
2 lbs lean ground beef (0.9
kg)
2 cups grated sharp Cheddar
cheese, (500 mL)
divided
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
(30 mL)
(the kind in a can, OR fresh)
2 eggs
1/2 cup
almond milk (125 mL)
1 tsp salt (5 mL)
1/2 tsp
onion salt (2 mL)
1/2 tsp
paprika (2 mL)
1/2 tsp
black pepper (2 mL)
Preheat
the oven to 400°F (200°C). You can line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. This is important for easy clean up.
In
large bowl, combine ground beef, 1 cup (250 mL) Cheddar cheese and Parmesan
cheese. In small bowl, beat together
eggs, almond milk, salt, onion salt, paprika and black pepper with a fork. Stir well into ground beef and cheese mixture.
Using
a 2 tbsp (30 mL) cookie scoop, place scoops on a cookie sheet. At this point, you can roll them into balls,
if desired. If the cookie scoop is the
kind that releases, you can leave them in the domed shape that they make. Bake
20 minutes. Remove from oven and place a
little Cheddar cheese on top of each meatball.
Bake another 5 minutes.
