● Salt: 1 tsp (approximately 5 grams or 0.18 ounces)

Cheesy Meatball Recipe: Step-by-Step Guide
- Combine the ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, flour, salt, and spices. Mix well with your hands until all of the ingredients are combined.
- Shape the meatballs. Once the meat mixture is ready, oil your palms to prevent sticking. Grab a small amount of the mixture and create a small indentation in the center. Add a small piece of cheese into the indentation, ensuring it’s fully enclosed by the meat. Carefully roll the meat around the cheese, forming a sphere.
- Prepare for baking. Lightly grease a baking form. Place the cheesy meatballs in the form, making sure they are evenly spaced.
- Bake the meatballs. Preheat your oven to 150 degrees Celsius (302 degrees Fahrenheit). Once the oven reaches the desired temperature, place the baking form with the meatballs on the middle rack. Bake them for about 20 minutes.
- Check for doneness. After 20 minutes, check if the meatballs are cooked through. If not, you can bake them for a few more minutes. Remember that cooking times may vary depending on your oven and the size of the meatballs.
- Serve and enjoy. Once the cheesy meatballs are golden brown and cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. You can enjoy them as is or pair them with your favorite dipping sauce.
