Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheesy Stuffed Meatloaf Bites
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your baking sheet and line it with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Take a small handful of the meat mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place a cube of cheddar cheese in the center and mold the meat around the cheese to form a ball.
  4. Arrange the formed meatloaf bites on the greased baking sheet, leaving space in between. Bake for 25-30 minutes until browned and internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
  5. Remove from the oven and let the bites cool for about 5 minutes to prevent burns from the melted cheese.
  6. Transfer to a serving platter and pair with your favorite dipping sauces or a fresh salad.
