Cheesy Stuffed Meatloaf Bites

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef (or mix of beef and pork)

• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

• 1/4 cup milk

• 1 egg

• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• 1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)

• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)

• 1/2 cup marinara sauce (optional, for dipping)

Instructions:

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

2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix well but don’t overwork the meat.

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

4. 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.

5. Repeat until all meat mixture is used.

6. Place the meatloaf bites on the prepared baking sheet.

7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and browned on the outside.

8. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
