Cheeseburger Balls

Cheeseburger Balls


A new Ball posting is a long time in the making, but these are really good and worth the wait. It is pretty pathetic to admit, but I made these for the Super Bowl… Yes I know that was months ago and it is currently March Madness, but these will be great for your Final Four party, and the kids will even love them.  I will not lie, it may resemble a McDonald’s Cheeseburger, but I am not upset about that J. I suggest you serve them with Special Sauce or even Catsup.

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
½ Large White Onion – Chopped
2 Cloves Garlic – Chopped
1lb Lean Ground Beef
8oz Cream Cheese
8oz Shredded Cheddar Cheese
48  ½ Inch Squares Velveeta Cheese

¼ Cup Chopped Pickles or Dill Pickle Relish

3 Packages crescent Crescent sheets (or rolls)
 
Sautee Onion and Garlic in Olive Oil for 5 minutes, add ground beef and cooked until cooked through. Drain in a strainer to get rid of access fat. Place softened Creamed Cheese in a bowl and add meat mixture, shredded Cheddar Cheese and Pickles; Mix until combined. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Cut crescent sheets into 16 squares. Take about a tablespoon of filling in your hand and flatten out.  Put a square of cheese in the middle and form into a ball. Place ball of filling in the middle of the crescent square and form into a ball. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until browned.



Special Sauce…

1 cup mayonnaise
4 Tablespoons Ketchup
2 Tablespoons grated Onion
2 Tablespoons Dill Pickle Relish
4 Tablespoons Adobo Sauce (from canned chipotle peppers)
½ Teaspoon Celery Salt
½ Teaspoon Salt


Combine all ingredients and serve alongside balls!



Enjoy!
