2 tablespoons minced onion
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons Panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons hot sauce
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 oz processed cheese or cheddar cheese cut into 15 pieces
green onions for garnish optional
SAUCE:
1/3 cup hot sauce
2/3 cup barbecue sauce
MEATBALLS: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray. Cut cheese into 15 small squares, set aside. Combine onion, egg yolk, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and salt & pepper. Mix until well combined. Add in ground beef and mix just until combined. Divide beef mixture into 15 pieces. Flatten one piece, add a piece of cheese in the middle and wrap the beef around the cheese sealing it as best you can. Bake 15-18 minutes. (Don’t worry if you see the cheese leaking out, there will be lots more inside)! SAUCE: Combine sauce ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Allow to boil 2 minutes while stirring. Add in meatballs and toss to coat. Serve warm!
