Ingredients:

16 oz ground beef (80/20%)
450g
2 eggs
100g
8 oz cheddar cheese
230g
1 tsp black pepper
2.10g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 tsp red pepper (spice)
1.80g
1 tsp chili powder
2.60g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Shred the cheddar cheese if not already shredded.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, black pepper, salt, red pepper, and chili powder.
3. Mix the Ingredients:
- Using your hands or a large spoon, thoroughly mix all the ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough.
4. Shape the Meatballs:
- Form the mixture into small balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. You should get approximately 20-24 meatballs, depending on size.
5. Place on Baking Sheet:
- Arrange the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
6. Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and have a golden-brown crust. The internal temperature should reach at least 160°F (71°C).
7. Serve:
- Carefully remove the meatballs from the oven. Let them cool slightly before serving.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve your cheddar cheese meatballs hot, with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a meal with pasta, salad, or on a sub roll.

Tips:

- Use freshly grated cheddar cheese for the best flavor and texture.

- Ensure that you do not overmix the meat mixture to avoid tough meatballs.

- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if you decide to bake the meatballs instead of frying them.

- Cook a small test meatball first to check the seasoning and adjust if necessary.

- Serve the meatballs with a dipping sauce such as marinara, barbecue, or ranch for added flavor.

Cheddar cheese meatballs are a fantastic option for any meal, offering a delightful combination of flavors that everyone will love. With this easy recipe, you can create a delicious dish that’s perfect for any occasion. Enjoy these cheesy, savory meatballs on their own, with pasta, or as part of a larger meal. Bon appétit!
