Zubereitung von Bacon Cheeseburger Balls
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- **Prepare the meatball mixture:** In a large bowl, lightly beat 1 large egg. Add 1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix and 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey). Gently combine until just mixed; do not overmix.
- **Prepare the cheese filling:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth. Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella/Swiss), 1/2 cup cooked crumbled bacon, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
- **Assemble the balls:** Divide the beef mixture into 36 equal portions. Shape the cheese mixture into 36 small balls. Wrap each cheese ball with a portion of the beef mixture, sealing completely.
- **Prepare the breading:** In a shallow dish, whisk 2 large eggs. In another shallow dish, place 2 cups of crushed cracker crumbs.
- **Bread the meatballs:** Dip each meatball in the egg, then roll in the cracker crumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.
- **Bake or Pan-Fry:** You can choose either method. For baking, arrange the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. For pan-frying, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs in batches for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
- **Serve:** Garnish with fresh chives and serve immediately. Enjoy!
