Delicious and easy Bacon Cheeseburger Meatballs combining juicy baked meatballs topped with melted American cheese, crispy bacon, fresh iceberg lettuce, and cherry tomatoes, perfect as appetizers or party snacks.

Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs

  • 1 (32 ounce) package of frozen meatballs (approximately 64 meatballs)

Toppings

  • 16 slices American cheese, cut into quarters
  • 16 slices pre-cooked bacon, cut into quarters
  • 1 cup iceberg lettuce, cut into small pieces
  • 32 grape or cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions

  1. Bake the Meatballs: Place the frozen meatballs on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake them according to the package instructions, usually about 18-20 minutes at 350°F (175°C), until heated through and slightly browned.
  2. Prepare Toppings: While the meatballs bake, cut the American cheese slices and pre-cooked bacon into quarters, chop the iceberg lettuce into small pieces, and halve the grape or cherry tomatoes.
  3. Assemble Skewers: On each toothpick, stack a piece of bacon, 2-3 small pieces of iceberg lettuce, and half a cherry tomato to create the toppings for the meatballs.
  4. Melt Cheese on Meatballs: Once the meatballs are baked, remove them from the oven, top each meatball with a small piece of the quartered American cheese, then return to the oven for 2-3 more minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
  5. Insert Toppings: Poke each assembled skewer into a cheese-topped meatball to add the bacon, lettuce, and tomato garnish.
  6. Serve: Plate the assembled bacon cheeseburger meatballs and serve immediately. Optionally, provide your favorite dipping sauces on the side for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked bacon for convenience and faster assembly.
  • Feel free to customize toppings by adding pickles, onions, or your favorite burger condiments on the skewers.
  • Make sure to keep toothpicks in place when serving to avoid tipping.
  • These meatballs can be kept warm in a low oven until serving.
  • Great for parties, game days, or casual gatherings.
