TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 20 min. YIELD: 16 meatballs.
Crisp on the outside, moist on the inside, these baked cheese-stuffed appetizers are drizzled with a tasty sweet-and-sour glaze. —Bonnie Stallings, Martinsburg, West Virginia

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
  • 3 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 2-1/2 ounces feta cheese, cut into sixteen 1/2-in. cubes
  • GLAZE:
  • 1 jar (12 ounces) orange marmalade
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 3 green onions, chopped, divided
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped

Directions

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Divide into 16 portions; flatten. Top each with a cheese cube; form beef mixture around cheese into meatballs.
  • 2. Place on a greased rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 400° until cooked through, 20-25 minutes. In a small saucepan, heat the marmalade, orange juice, half of the green onions and the jalapeno.
