Stuffed Cheese Meatballs
Cheese Meatballs can be made low carb, keto-friendly, and even pretty low calorie, depending on the protein you use!
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef (85/15)
- 2 oz sharp cheddar, cubed into 8 cubes
- 1 tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide the ground beef into eight equal portions. Flatten each portion into a circle. Place a cheese cube in the middle of each circle. Shape each circle into a meatball, sealing well.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika. Roll the meatballs in the mixture.
