Helpful Tips to make Taco Cheese Stuffed Meatballs:
- Do not overmix the meat or you can end up with tough meatballs.
- Use a cookie dough or ice cream scoop to get uniform meatballs.
- Be sure to fully seal the cheese within the meatballs or all of the cheese will ooze out while broiling.
- To make extra meatballs to keep in the freezer, double or triple this recipe. Transfer extra meatballs to a rimmed baking sheet and freeze completely. Then transfer frozen meatballs to a ziploc bag or container.
- This recipe makes a mild flavored taco meatball. If you prefer extra taco flavor, double the amount of taco seasoning.
What you will need to make Taco Cheese Stuffed Meatballs:
- Large mixing bowl- You will need a bowl large enough for the ingredients and your hands.
- Sharp knife- This recipe requires the cheese to be cut into cubes. A good, sharp knife is always handy to have in the kitchen.
- Rimmed baking sheet- used for everything from cookies to roasting, a good baking pan will last for years.
Enjoy!
