When I serve these, my husband and sons, 6 and 9, are often fooled into thinking we're having plain meatballs until they cut into the flavorful filling inside. Ingredients:
1 egg |
1 envelope onion soup mix |
1 pound ground beef |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons 2% milk |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese |
4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled |
coating: |
2 eggs |
1 cup crushed saltines (about 30 crackers) |
5 tablespoons canola oil |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine egg and soup mix. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Divide into 36 portions; set aside. In another large bowl, combine the flour and milk until smooth. Add cheese and bacon; mix well.
2. Shape cheese mixture into 36 balls. Shape one beef portion around each cheese ball. In a shallow bowl, beat eggs. Place cracker crumbs in another bowl. Dip meatballs into egg, then coat with crumbs.
3. In a large skillet, cook meatballs over medium heat in oil for 10-12 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and coating is golden brown. Yield: 3 dozen.
