Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1.5 tablespoons seasoned breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 4 dills pickle chips
• 4 ounces Cheddar cheese
• 9 slices bacon
• 1 sesame seeds

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2. 2

   Combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, parsley flakes, salt, ketchup, mustard, and dill pickle in a bowl and mix until just combined.

3. 3

   Pinch 1 generous tablespoon of meat mixture and wrap around 1 cube of cheese. Roll to form a ball, then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Continue with remaining meat mixture and cheese.

4. 4

   Cut bacon slices in half widthwise, then cut each piece in half lengthwise, making 4 strips from each bacon slice.

5. 5

   Wrap 1 bacon strip around each meatball, securing with a toothpick or pressed tightly into the meat to stay in place. Any extra strips of bacon can be used to do a second wrap on some of the meatballs.

6. 6

   Line the bottom of the air fryer with half of the meatballs, then fry for 6 minutes. Turn them over and fry for another six minutes. Remove and repeat with remaining meatballs.

7. 7

   Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with your choice of dipping sauce.
