Ingredients

1 cup TACO BELL® Thick & Chunky Mild Salsa, divided
1/2 tsp. each ground chili powder, ground cumin and garlic powder
1 lb. extra-lean ground beef
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1 egg
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) KRAFT Pepper Jack Cheese, cut into 24 cubes
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce

Steps:

Mix 1/2 cup salsa and seasonings in large bowl until blended. Add meat, bread crumbs and egg; mix just until blended. Shape into 24 (1-inch) meatballs.
Press 1 cheese cube into center of each meatball, pressing meat mixture around cheese to completely enclose cheese. Place in slow cooker sprayed with cooking spray. Mix tomato sauce and remaining salsa until blended. Pour over meatballs; cover with lid.
