Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups crushed Doritos (your favorite flavor)
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 cup diced green onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- Cooking spray or oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
- Make the Meatball Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, diced green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the egg and mix until fully combined.
- Shape the Meatballs: Scoop out a spoonful of the mixture and roll into balls, about the size of a golf ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
- Coat the Meatballs: Place crushed Doritos in a shallow dish and roll each meatball in the Doritos to coat evenly. Press lightly to ensure crumbs stick well.
- Fry the Meatballs: Heat oil or cooking spray in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the meatballs for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Place the Bacon Dorito Balls on a platter. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use any flavor of Doritos for a personalized touch.
- For a spicier version, add some cayenne pepper or jalapeños.
- These meatballs freeze well if you want to make them ahead of time! Just fry and freeze, then reheat as needed.
