Meatball Bomb 5 Layers Of Flavor Recipes

BBQ BACON ONION-WRAPPED MEATBALLS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, bread crumbs, garlic, diced onion, parsley, egg, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and honey until evenly combined. Set aside in the refrigerator.
• Cut the 4 onions vertically on cutting board. Remove the stem and root from each piece. The layers of each onion will act as "shells" to wrap around each meatball.
• Remove the meatball mixture from the refrigerator and pinch off golf ball-sized pieces of meat. Press a small cube of cheddar cheese into the middle of each meat portion, then form into a meatball shape with your hands.
• Wrap each meatball in 2 onion "shells", then with 2 strips of bacon, and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Brush the meatballs with barbecue sauce, covering them completely.
• Bake for 45 minutes, brushing again with BBQ sauce halfway through, until deep brown with a nice crust on the outside.
• Enjoy!

MEATBALL BOMB 5 LAYERS OF FLAVOR

Steps:

• In one bowl mix together Italian sausage, 2 eggs and 1 c Parmesan cheese.
• In another bowl mix together ground beef, McCormick's seasoning, 1 egg and 1/2 c Parmesan cheese.
• Cut cheese into about 1" cubes.
• I used the middle size and large scoops. The middle size for ground beef, the large for sausage.
• Scoop 16 ground beef scoops. Roll in your hands to make a ball.
• Then press center down and out, place cheese inside and gently work the meat up and over the cheese. Then roll in hands for a few seconds to tighten it up.
• Scoop out 16 scoops of Italian sausage with the large scoop.
• Roll into a ball, then press down and out from center to make a well.
• Place smaller meatball stuffed with cheese inside. Gently push sausage up and over top of smaller meat ball. Roll in your hands for a few seconds to tighten meat up.
• Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay a slice of bacon on paper, place meatball in center.
• Then bring bacon up and twist and back down. Tuck under meatball and place little skewer in center.
• Brush with your favorite BBQ sauce, I use Uncle Gary's Jalapeno BBQ sauce. http://unclegaryspeppers.com/
