Baked Cheddar Cheese Meatballs are a quick and easy to prepare and have a sharp cheddar cheese center. Serve with a sugar-free marinara sauce and you have the perfect family dinner.
All hail the meatball! Meatballs are such a fabulous food. I mean really they are rather a genius little food. Balls of protein filled with herbs and spice and everything nice. What is not to love about that.
To step up the love game I added a bit of cheese in the center of these meatball delights. Cuz really let’s face the facts, a bit of cheese makes everything taste better!
You see these meatballs are creation because of husbands over purchasing at Costco.
Can you relate? Does your husband ever go to the store and come home with an abundance of stuff that you will NEVER be able to eat even if you are feeding the local football, team? Well yes, mine does and this time he came home with 4 pounds of ground beef. Really four pounds of ground beef, husband of mine, why-o-why?
So, of course, I just knew meatballs would be in our future. With a bit of beautiful white cheddar cheese I had picked up at the market, a couple of eggs from my chickens, and one grated yellow onion I had myself 16 meatballs to serve to family. I served them with some sugar-free marinara sauce, and a mixed green salad. Perfect healthy balanced weeknight family dinner.

These looks crazy good. That cube of cheddar cheese in the middle is a nice touch and I love that they’re baked and not fried. YUMMMM.
Haha, I can totally relate! My hubby (who claims to hate shopping) loves Costco way too much and will randomly come home with massive quantities of stuff! We love meatballs around here and the fact that these are stuffed with cheddar makes them completely irresistible!
Costco is too irresistible for those men! A little cheese in the center makes things taste way better!
Woah. My kids love meatballs and I know they would gobble these right up!
These are perfect for kiddos.
Love that these are stuffed with cheddar cheese!

I just love the idea of the surprise cheese center in these gorgeous meatballs! Such a fun idea that adds a whole, additional layer of flavor, too! My kids would love these (well … and let’s be honest … so would I 🙂 )!
Thanks Shelley! Everyone loves a cheesy center! 🙂
Oh wow this really looks good. Comfort food at is best!
What a great way to enjoy meatballs.
Thanks Cathy!
Have you tried making this with indiluted condensed tomato soup? It’s really delicious – my kids couldn’t get enough! We all love your recipe. 🙂
So glad you and your family like the recipe Rach, I will have to try it with the soup instead of the marinara sauce.
