1/4 cup finely chopped onion

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Take a small handful of the meat mixture (about 1-2 tbsp) and flatten it into a small patty in your palm.

Place a small spoonful of shredded cheese in the center, then fold the meat around the cheese, sealing it completely to form a bite-sized ball.
-
Repeat until all meat mixture is used.

Place the meatloaf bites on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and browned on the outside.
