Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
- 8 ounces extra lean ground beef 96%
- 1 jalapeño
- 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs panko
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ⅛ cup fat-free shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 teaspoons ⅓ less fat cream cheese
Instructions
- To start, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil and grease with cooking spray.
- Mince or dice the jalapeños as small as you want them. Add the ground beef to a bowl. Sprinkle with all the ingredients (except the cream cheese) and toss to evenly mix.
- Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal sized pieces, flattening them out into circles. Scoop one teaspoon of cream cheese, in a ball shape, and place in the middle of a flatten meat circle. Bring up the edges, pinching closed, and roll together to form a ball. Repeat for each meatball, placing on the baking tray.
- Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.
