Ingredients:
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 cup cooked elbow macaroni
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg, lightly beaten

Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked macaroni, shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Form the meat mixture into balls, making a small indentation in each one.
