Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

1/2 lb ground pork

1 cup breadcrumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup milk

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 large egg

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for stuffing)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix the Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, half of the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.

      Form the Bites: With your hands, take a small portion of the meat mixture (about the size of a golf ball) and flatten it in your palm. Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center and then fold the meat around it to form a ball, ensuring the cheese is completely encased. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used.

        Prepare the Baking Sheet: Place the stuffed meatloaf bites on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out evenly.

          Bake the Bites: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are cooked through and browned on the outside. If desired, you can broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes for a crispier top.

            Sauté the Remaining Onion: While the meatloaf bites are baking, sauté the remaining onion in a small pan over medium heat until caramelized (about 5-7 minutes).

              Serve and Garnish: Once cooked, remove the bites from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm, garnished with sautéed onions and fresh parsley.
