Blue Cheese Burger Balls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 lb ground beef
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup soft breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
dry breadcrumbs
10 slices bacon, halved (optional)

Preparation

Mix beef, egg, cheese, 1/2 cup bread crumbs and salt in a medium-size bowl.
Shape into 20 appetizer- size balls (about 1-inch in diameter).
Roll balls in breadcrumbs until well coated, or wrap 1 piece of bacon around each, fastening with a wet toothpick.
Place the appetizer balls on a baking pan with a wire rack.
If crumb coated, bake in a hot oven (400\u00b0F) for 15 minutes.
If wrapped with bacon, broil 10 minutes, turning occasionally to brown bacon on all sides.
