My kids literally cheer when they know I am making these easy baked meatballs. I think they love the cheesy goodness the best.
My hubby and I love them, too. I have to make a double batch of easy-baked meatballs because with four kids, one batch just isn't enough, but I don't mind one bit.
These easy baked meatballs can be for more than just a quick supper. They make great party appetizers and of course, game day food. And they also heat up well on those crazy nights when all you have time for is leftovers.

Kitchen Supplies
Before we get into the recipe, let’s quickly go over the kitchen supplies that help make these easy baked meatballs possible.
Wooden Spoon (If you don’t want to use your hands)
Baking Pan, one with sides – I prefer this Jelly Roll Pan
Tin Foil (if you want easy cleanup)
Ingredients
- 1 Egg
- ¾ Cup Milk
- 1 Cup (4 ounces) Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- ½ Cup Quick Cooking Oats
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Pound Ground Beef
- ½ Cup Chopped Onions – optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Line your pan with tin foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Remember to spray your pan if you don’t want to use tin foil.
- In your mixing bowl, add all your ingredients and combine with a wooden spoon or your hands until completely mixed.
- Using your cookie scoop, scoop out meatballs and place them on your pan.
- Bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes.
Helpful Tips
- The meatballs pair great with spaghetti, alfredo, breadsticks, garlic bread, and even just a side of vegetables.
- I usually use the large cookie scoop and smash the meat mixture to the side of the bowl to create the meatballs – no extra shaping required. If you use a smaller scoop, reduce your baking time by 5 minutes or so, depending on your oven.
- Use sharp cheddar cheese for a greater cheddar taste. You can try other cheeses if you prefer. Let me know in the comments below how that goes.
- I have made these without the cheese, and I have to say they just aren’t as good.
- If you don’t like onions, don’t use them.
- Most of the time I do not keep raw onions on hand so instead I substitute 1 teaspoon of dry minced onions.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
