Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper.

  • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
  • Fry the cheesy beef balls until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of garlic powder or onion powder to the mixture.
