How to Make Cheesy Meatballs

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking tray.
  2. Finely chop 2 shallots and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 500g ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork), the chopped shallots, 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Roll the mixture into 16 equal-sized meatballs (approximately 50g each).
  6. Create a small indentation in the center of each meatball.
  7. Fill each indentation with a 10g cube of your favorite cheese (e.g., mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix).
  8. Carefully seal the cheese inside each meatball, ensuring it's completely enclosed.
  9. Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking tray.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Serve immediately with your favorite salad or side dish.
