Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Baked Potatoes
- 4 russet potatoes
Dipping Sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400. Clean and dry the potatoes, then stab each 4-6 times with a regular fork. Place directly on a upper shelf in the oven. Bake for one hour or until you can pierce with a knife without resistance.
- Combine the meatball ingredients in a bowl, making sure to evenly disperse everything. Using a small scoop or your hands, make 1" sized meatballs. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake for 20 minutes or until browned.
- Meanwhile, combine ketchup and mustard in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Serve the potatoes with your favorite toppings. Use the ketchup and mustard sauce as a dipping sauce for the meatballs.
Notes
GLUTEN-FREE
- Replace the breadcrumbs in the meatballs with a gluten-free alternative breadcrumb.
DAIRY-FREE
- Skip the cheese in the meatballs. When you add the ingredients to the bowl, start with half the breadcrumbs. Only add the rest if the mixture seems dry.
