These Cheese Stuffed Bacon Meatballs are the perfect comfort food, ideal for a cozy night indoors with friends or family. They have a tantalizing combination of flavors, starting with the salty and smoky bacon paired with the umami-rich ground chuck and complemented by the fresh and creamy mozzarella cheese.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2.	Using a small skillet, cook the bacon until crispy then remove from heat and let it cool before chopping it into small pieces.
3.	In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped bacon, ground chuck, onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, panko breadcrumbs, black pepper, and beef stock until well combined.
4.	Roll the meat mixture into 8-10 meatballs and press each ball's center to make a dent without going all the way through.
5.	Insert a fresh bite-sized mozzarella ball into each dent and form the meat around it, ensuring there are no gaps.
6.	Place the meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for about 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While this recipe isn’t exactly healthy, it does contain some nutrients and health benefits.
The beef provides protein, iron, and essential amino acids that we need for proper body function.
The onion soup mix and Worcestershire sauce add some flavor without contributing too much to the nutrient content. The bacon, however, does contain unhealthy saturated fat and should be consumed in moderation.
