Cheddar Meatballs

"I've been tweaking my old meatball recipe over the years, and finally came up with a version everyone loves. And as we all know---everything's better with CHEESE! This also makes a great burger, just omit the parsley and oregano and try substituting the cheddar for pepper jack cheese."

Questions & Replies

  1. The recipe doesn't mention when to add the shredded cheese. Does it get folded in along with the spices? Or mixed with the ground beef and folded in?
