Cheesy Stuffed Meatloaf Bites

Prepare the meat mixture:

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, beaten egg, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Form the bites:

Take a small portion of the meat mixture and flatten it in your hand. Place a cube of cheddar cheese in the center and mold the meat around the cheese, forming a small ball. Ensure the cheese is completely enclosed. Repeat with the remaining meat and cheese.

Cook the meatloaf bites:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the meatloaf bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Brush this mixture over the top of each meatloaf bite.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the tops are caramelized.

Serve:

Serve hot, garnished with parsley or additional sauce if desired.
