Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Cut the 4 onions vertically on cutting board. Remove the stem and root from each piece. The layers of each onion will act as "shells" to wrap around each meatball.
- Remove the meatball mixture from the refrigerator and pinch off golf ball-sized pieces of meat. Press a small cube of cheddar cheese into the middle of each meat portion, then form into a meatball shape with your hands.
- Wrap each meatball in 2 onion "shells", then with 2 strips of bacon, and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the meatballs with barbecue sauce, covering them completely.
- Bake for 45 minutes, brushing again with BBQ sauce halfway through, until deep brown with a nice crust on the outside.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add onion and bacon, and cook, stirring, until bacon has browned and onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer onion and bacon to a plate and cool in refrigerator.
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Use the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine steak, ground beef, cooled bacon and onions, cheese, eggs, bread crumbs and salt, and mix lightly but thoroughly by hand. To taste for seasoning, heat a small skillet and fry a chunk of the mixture until browned. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Roll mixture into golf-ball-size balls, packing firmly. Pack snugly into the prepared dish, making even rows to form a grid. Roast for 20 minutes, or until firm and cooked through. (The center should be at 165 degrees.)
- Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the meatballs will be. Choose fresh, lean ground beef, good-quality bacon, and sharp cheddar cheese.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Let the meatballs rest before cooking. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
- Cook the meatballs over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatballs are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite dipping sauce. BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, or honey mustard are all good options.
Conclusion:
These BBQ bacon and cheddar meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or tailgating.
