Cheddar Meatballs image

I've been tweaking my old meatball recipe over the years, and finally came up with a version everyone loves. And as we all know---everything's better with CHEESE! This also makes a great burger, just omit the parsley and oregano and try substituting the cheddar for pepper jack cheese.

I'm not a fan of cheddar cheese, so I used mozzarella instead. The meatballs were still very good.

I've made these cheddar meatballs several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're moist and flavorful, and the cheddar cheese gives them a nice tang.
