Follow these simple steps to create delicious Cheddar-Stuffed BBQ Bacon Bombs:

1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your grill for indirect heat.

2. Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

3. Form Patties: Take a handful of the beef mixture and flatten it into a patty shape. Make sure it’s big enough to wrap around the cheese.

4. Insert Cheese: Place a small amount of additional shredded cheddar cheese in the center of the patty. Optionally, add some chopped jalapeños for extra flavor.

5. Wrap the Patty: Carefully fold the edges of the patty over the cheese, sealing it completely, and shape it into a ball.

6. Wrap with Bacon: Take half of a bacon strip and wrap it around the meatball, securing it with a toothpick if necessary. Ensure that all the meat is covered.

7. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the bacon-wrapped balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced out.

8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

9. Glaze (Optional): For an extra burst of flavor, brush some additional BBQ sauce on the bacon bombs during the last few minutes of cooking.

10. Rest: Once cooked, let the bacon bombs rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help them hold their shape when you bite into them.
