- Place a cube of cheddar cheese in the center of the flattened meat.
- Wrap the meat around the cheese, forming a ball and ensuring the cheese is fully enclosed.

- Wrap each meatball with a slice of chicken bacon, securing with a toothpick if necessary.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.

- In a small bowl, mix barbecue sauce, honey, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Brush the barbecue sauce mixture generously over each meatball.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the meatballs are cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef for a healthier choice.
- Adjust chili powder to your preferred spice level.
- Monitor bacon closely while baking to prevent burning.
