Awww…my precious little kitchen helper. She enjoys helping me make everything especially these delicious Bacon Meatballs.

Who doesn’t love a good meatball? Add bacon…wow! I found this recipe in  (Cuisine for less). It’s a great recipe to make in bulk, the meatballs freeze well. I made extra’s they never made it to the freezer.

You’ll need:

• 6 strips bacon, diced
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 1 1/2 pound ground beef chuck
• 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
• 3 Tbsp minced fresh parsley
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp sea salt1 tsp black pepper
• 2 eggs beaten

1. Preheat the oven 400 F. Coat a broiler pan with oil.
2. Brown diced bacon in a frypan until starting to crisp.
   
3. Remove and drain on paper towels.
   
4. Pour off all but 1 Tbsp bacon fat. Saute onion in the same skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes, add garlic cook 1 minute.
   
5. Combine ground meat, bacon with onion and garlic in a large bowl.
   
6. Add bread crumbs
   
7. Add fresh minced parsley.
   
8. Add paprika, salt, and pepper.
   
9. In a small bowl beat 2 eggs. My cooking partner Katie loves to help her Mamal with anything and everything.
   
10. Add eggs to the beef mixture.
    
11. Mix. Form into 1 1/2 inch meatballs. Lay on broiler pan.
    
12. Bake meatballs until fully cooked about 12 – 14 minutes.
