Meet the Cook: 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. -Cathy Lendvoy, Boharm, Saskatchewan

SERVINGS: 12

CATEGORY: Main Dish

METHOD: Other stovetop

TIME: Prep: 25 min. Cook: 10 min.

Ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 envelope onion soup mix
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons 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 vegetable oil

Directions:

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.
    Shape cheese mixture into 36 balls. Shape one beef portion around each cheese ball. In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Place cracker crumbs in another bowl. Dip meatballs into egg, then coat with crumbs.
    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.

    I'd like to suggest try baking them instead of frying in a 375 degree oven for 15-20 minutes (+/-).

    We didn't care for these meatballs. Cooking them in oil made them soggy and very greasy.
