Easy Baked Taco Stuffed Meatballs
Use ground beef or turkey to make these easy baked taco stuffed meatballs and serve them for dinner or enjoy them as an appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground meat (you can use beef or turkey)
- 1/4 c breadcrumbs (plain)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 c milk
- 1 pkg package taco seasoning (either store bought or homemade)
- Colby jack cheese cubes, 1 for each meatball
- Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, and taco seasoning in a bowl until well combined.
- Once combined, scoop out about 4 tablespoons or an ice cream scoop on the meat mixture to start making a meatball.
- Then, slightly press down on it to flatten the meatball and place a cheese cube in the middle. Bring the sides up around to close the meatball completely sealed.
- You want to make sure it’s sealed so that the cheese doesn’t melt and run out onto the pan while it’s cooking.
- Place the taco stuffed meatballs with cheese filling on a baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes or until done.
- Sprinkle with chopped cilantro for garnish.
