Ingredients:
1 egg
1 envelope soup mix
1 lb. ground beef
2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. 2% milk
1 c. (4 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese
4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
COATING:
2 eggs
1 c. crushed saltines (about 30 crackers)

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine egg and soup mix.  Crumble beef over mixture and mix well.  Divide into 36 portions; set aside.  In another large bowl, combine the flour and milk until smooth.  Add cheese and bacon; mix well.

Shape cheese mixture into 36 balls.  Shape one beef portion around each cheese ball.  In a shallow bowl, beat eggs.  Place cracker crumbs in another bowl.  Dip meatballs into egg, then coat with crumbs.

In a large skillet, cook meatballs over medium heat in oil for 10-12 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and the coating is golden brown.
