Cheesy Bacon Wrapped Meatballs

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb ground beef leftovers work great for this meatball bomb recipe
  • 1 egg
  • Your favorite seasonings
  • 1/2 lb bacon about one slice per meatball
  • Fresh mozzarella cheese cut into 1" cubes one per meatball)
  • Parsley for garnish
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce optional but so good for glazing

Instructions

  • We're going to bake these in the oven so no mess of grilling or frying!
  • Super easy cleanup which is always a win in my book.
  • First grab your ground beef mixture. Roll about a tablespoon or so of the beef in your hands to make a little ball.
  • Then press your thumb in the center to make a little pocket.
  • This is the fun part! Take one of those mozzarella cubes and stuff it right into the center of the meat.
  • Then gently close the meat around it making sure to cover the cheese completely. You don't want any cheese escaping during baking or you'll lose all that gooey goodness!
  • Now wrap a slice of bacon around the meatball. Try to cover as much of the meatball as possible.
