• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly spray a 9x13 pan or four sided baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine ground beef, onion, jalapenos, bread crumbs, cheddar cheese, milk, Worcestershire sauce, basil, and salt. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are evenly distributed.
• Shape into 20 roughly shaped meatballs. Divide the cream cheese into 20 tablespoon-sized pieces, one for each meatball. Working one at a time, take a meatball and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place a piece of cream cheese in the center and wrap the meatball around the cheese, sealing it inside the middle.
• Place the fully shaped meatballs into the prepared baking pan.
• Cook in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Serve hot.

• MEATBALLS: Add all the meatball ingredients to a large bowl and use a fork to combine well. Refrigerate 20 minutes or up to 3 days. DRESSING: In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the mayo and sour cream, then slowly whisk in the buttermilk. Whisk in garlic, vinegar, parsley, chives, and dill.

Line a large roasting pan with parchment paper. Scoop slightly rounded tablespoonfuls of the meat mixture up and roll into balls. Place 1 to 2 inches apart in pan. Bake 14 to 15 minutes. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature with ranch on the side.

JALAPENO MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Make the dressing for dipping: Stir together all ingredients listed for the dressing. Refrigerate while making meatballs so that flavors have time to combine.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Make the meatballs: Add all the meatball ingredients to a large bowl and combine well.
• Take meat mixture and roll into balls. I scoop the meat mixture into a 1/4 cup measuring cup (use a smaller or larger one depending on the size you want for your meatballs), then I shake the meat mixture out of the measuring cup and shape into a ball. It usually shakes out of the cup pretty much in a ball shape so it doesn't take much to make it into a ball. Place 1- 2 inches apart in pan. Bake 14 - 15 minutes.
