Bacon-Wrapped Giant Meatballs
Ingredients Needed
-
3 pounds ground beef
-
3 eggs
-
½ cup dry bread crumbs
-
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
-
1 tablespoon minced garlic
-
1 tablespoon onion powder
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1 teaspoon dried basil
-
1 pound sliced bacon, cut in half crosswise
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, oregano, and basil. Shape the mixture into 2-inch meatballs.
-
Take one half-slice of bacon and wrap it around each meatball, turning it 45 degrees to wrap another half-slice, fully enclosing the meatball. Repeat for all the meatballs, using two half-slices of bacon per meatball. Place them seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and the bacon is crispy. An instant-read thermometer should register at least 160°F (70°C) when inserted into the center. Discard any excess grease.
