Cheddar Bacon Ranch Meatballs
Every single flavor you love comes together in these delicious little cheddar bacon ranch meatballs!
Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 pound extra lean ground beef
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Ranch seasoning
- ¼ cup fat-free shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices bacon
- 6 teaspoons brown sugar replacement
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a baking tray with cooking spray.
- In a bowl, flatten down the ground beef to the bottom of the bowl. Evenly sprinkle on the seasonings and give it a good mix. Once mixed, flatted the ground beef back to the bottom of the bowl. Sprinkle on the cheddar cheese, evenly, over the entire ground beef. I found this method best when using shredded cheese in meatballs, it helps keep everything packaged up nicely and evenly.
- Slice pieces of bacon in half.
- Make 12 equal sized meatballs, about a little more than ⅛ cup each. Place the meatballs on the greased baking tray as you start to form them.
- Once you have the 12 meatballs, start wrapping them in bacon. Use a HALF strip of bacon for each meatballs. Wrap them tightly in the bacon, being sure to tuck the ends under the meatball to keep everything together.
- Sprinkle on a ½ teaspoon of brown sugar replacement to the tops of the bacon, pressing in slightly. You can skip this step if you do not want to add the sugar.
- Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, until fully cooked.
