Ingredients

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2

Combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, parsley flakes, salt, ketchup, mustard, and dill pickle in a bowl and mix until just combined.
Step 3

Pinch 1 generous tablespoon of meat mixture and wrap around 1 cube of cheese. Roll to form a ball, then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Continue with remaining meat mixture and cheese.
Step 4

Cut bacon slices in half widthwise, then cut each piece in half lengthwise, making 4 strips from each bacon slice.
Step 5

Wrap 1 bacon strip around each meatball, securing with a toothpick or pressed tightly into the meat to stay in place. Any extra strips of bacon can be used to do a second wrap on some of the meatballs.
Step 6

Line the bottom of the air fryer with half of the meatballs, then fry for 6 minutes. Turn them over and fry for another six minutes. Remove and repeat with remaining meatballs.
Step 7

Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with your choice of dipping sauce.

Enjoy your meal!
