Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb Laura's Lean Ground Beef keeps it juicy but not too greasy
  • 1 lb Meyer Heritage Duroc Applewood Smoked Bacon for that smoky crispy wrap
  • 1 Egg acts like glue to hold things together
  • ¼ cup Breadcrumbs helps keep meatballs tender and just right
  • 4 oz Cheddar cheese block diced so you get those melty pockets of cheese inside
  • 2 tsps Sesame seeds adds a little crunch and nuttiness
  • Salt and pepper to taste – gotta season well or it’s just okay

Instructions
 

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 375°F for crispy bacon texture.
  • Mix ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper; avoid overworking.
  • Fold cheddar cheese cubes into the meat mixture.
  • Wrap each meatball portion with halved bacon slices, securing with a toothpick if needed.
  • Place bacon-wrapped meatballs in the air fryer basket, ensuring space between them.
  • Air fry for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through; rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

Enjoy immediately for maximum crispiness. Wrap with care to prevent unrolling.
