Welcome to my recipe for cheeseburger meatballs! These tasty little balls are made with seasoned ground sirloin and sharp cheddar cheese, making them uniquely delicious. They can be served as fun appetizers; skewer them on toothpicks with cheeseburger fixins’ like lettuce, red onion, pickle chips and tomatoes. Or pile three of them on a sub roll for the ultimate hearty sandwich. We like to serve them with ketchup or mustard for dipping…. or with our “special sauce”, which is a simple combination of equal parts ketchup and light mayo. Give them a try, and let us know what you think!
