BBQ Bacon Meatballs

Ingredients

for 2 servings

250 g (9 oz) ground beef

250 g (9 oz) ground sausage

75 g (⅔ cup) bread crumbs

40 g (¼ cup) onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 egg

1 pack mozzarella cheese, grated

6 rashers bacon

BBQ sauce, to taste

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) (or 350°F (180°C) on a convection oven).

In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, ground sausage, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, and egg together with your hands until thoroughly combined.

Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized balls. Use your thumb to create a dent in the balls, add a bit of mozzarella and seal.

Cut the bacon rashers in half and roll around the meatballs.

Place the meatballs on a foil-covered tray and bake for 20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and brush with BBQ sauce, then bake for 5 minutes more. Repeat brushing and baking two more times for an extra-thick layer of BBQ sauce.

Enjoy!
