Print Recipe

Is it a cheeseburger or a meatball? The world may never know that answer, but it will determine these are delicious as an appetizer or main entrée.

Ingredients

Scale

1 pound Certified Angus Beef ® ground beef, 85% lean

1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper

1/2 cup panko style bread crumbs

1/4 cup whole milk

1 egg

1/2 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon yellow mustard

3 tablespoons finely chopped dill pickles

1/2 cup bottled special sauce (like Stubbs or Sweet Baby Rays)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray.

2. Prepare Meatballs:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, panko bread crumbs, milk, egg, cheddar cheese, mustard, and dill pickle. Mix well to evenly incorporate.

3. Form Meatballs:

  • Use 2 heaping tablespoons of mix to hand-form each meatball. Repeat with remaining mix to form 14 to 16 total meatballs. Space evenly on baking sheet.

4. Bake Meatballs:

  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until meatballs reach an internal temperature of 160°F.

5. Serve:

  • Serve with special sauce.

Notes

Food Safety Notice: Always wash hands and sanitize surfaces before and after handling raw meat, poultry, or seafood. Use separate cutting boards for raw proteins and ready-to-eat foods. USDA recommends whole muscle beef and lamb reach 145°F with a 3-minute rest, fish reach 145°F, and all poultry reach 165°F. Temperatures noted for whole muscle beef, lamb, and fish reflect culinary preference and may differ from federal guidelines. Ground meat of any kind must always reach 160°F. Consuming undercooked meat, poultry, or seafood may increase your risk of foodborne illness.
