Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1/2 teaspoon dried italian seasoning or 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon onion salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup oatmeal
• 1/4 cup water
• 5 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 1/2 cups milk (from boiling potatoes, if you're making potatoes too) or 1 1/2 cups water (from boiling potatoes, if you're making potatoes too)
• 1 teaspoon watkins meat magic flavor enhancer or 1 teaspoon kitchen bouquet

Recipe

• 1 in a mixing bowl, combine all of the meatball ingredients except the cheese and mix well.
• 2 take a piece of meat about the size of a walnut, flatten it, put a cheese cube in the center, and press the meat mixture closed around the cheese, covering the cheese completely and evenly so it won't melt out into the pan.
• 3 spray skillet with non-stick cooking spray, then fry the meatballs over medium heat until they are very well browned on all sides.
• 4 remove meatballs from pan and make gravy from the drippings.
• 5 add flour to the drippings in the pan and mix well (you may need to add a little oil if there wasn't enough grease rendered from the meatballs).
• 6 add milk or water and meat magic, and stir well, getting any meat off the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.
• 7 cook over medium heat until the gravy thickens and starts to bubble.
• 8 add more milk or water if needed.
• 9 return the meatballs to the gravy and serve or serve separately.
