Ingredients
Meat Mixture
- 1 large egg
- 1 envelope onion soup mix
- 1 pound ground beef
Cheese
- 1 cup cheese curds (or about 16 pieces)
Coating
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup crushed Saltines, about 30 crackers
- 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
Frying
- 5 tablespoons canola oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine egg and soup mix. Crumble ground beef over mixture and mix well.
- Divide into 14-16 portions.
- Add cheese curds to the center of each meatball making sure it is completely inside and covered with meat. Reshape into a ball.
- In a shallow bowl, beat eggs for coating.
- Place cracker crumbs and crumbled bacon in another bowl. Dip meatballs into eggs, then coat with bacon crumbs.
- Heat oil in a large cast-iron over medium heat. Cook meatballs until meat is no longer pink and outside is golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Flip meatballs over often so each side browns.
Notes
Scallions make a great garnish because there is onion soup mix in the recipe, but they are not necessary.
