Juicy Lucy Meatballs


Came out good. Only I didn't bake them, I fried them in canola oil, didn't heat up the sauce (just topped it over the done meatballs), and didn't add green onion (because some people I know don't like green onion).

Ingredients

Meatballs

    1 pound lean ground beef
    2 tablespoons minced onion
    1 egg yolk
    3 tablespoons Panko bread crumbs
    1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    2 tablespoons Lingham's Hot Sauce
    salt and ground black pepper to taste
    4 oz processed cheese (or cheddar cheese) cut into 15 pieces
    green onions for garnish (optional)

Sauce

    ⅓ cup Lingham's Hot Sauce
    ⅔ cup barbecue sauce

Instructions

Meatballs
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
    Cut cheese into 15 small squares, set aside.
    Combine onion, egg yolk, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, Lingham's Hot Sauce and salt & pepper. Mix until well combined. Add in ground beef and mix just until combined.
    Divide beef mixture into 15 pieces. Flatten one piece, add a piece of cheese in the middle and wrap the beef around the cheese sealing it as best you can.
    Bake 15-18 minutes. (Don't worry if you see the cheese leaking out, there will be lots more inside)!

Sauce

    Combine sauce ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Allow to boil 2 minutes while stirring. Add in meatballs and toss to coat. Serve warm!
