Woot! The Big Game is almost here, and that means I can get creative in the kitchen with yummy finger foods and messy snacks that only my husband and I can eat in front of the TV. (The kids have to eat in the dining room.) I love meatballs, and since we have a freezer stocked full of very lean, grass-fed hamburger, I thought it would be delicious to add in a little fat and create the perfect BBQ meatball. Well, I think I did it!
To create this crowd-pleasing dish, you'll need the following items:
- Oscar Meyer Fully Cooked Bacon (it's the perfect texture for this recipe)
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 2 eggs
- Salt and Pepper to Taste
- BBQ Sauce (I created my own from this delicious recipe)
Add in the eggs, panko, and salt and pepper. When it's consistently mixed, roll into party-sized meatballs. (Remember, the smaller the balls, the more people you can feed. People feel guilty about eating too many meatballs.)
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes, or until the juices of the meatballs come running out. Use a meat thermometer if you're not sure.
Slather in your favorite BBQ sauce and put back in the oven for about 5 minutes, turning the heat down to 200 degrees.
These are soooo tasty. They have a pork flavor, much like a ham ball, but they have the density of a good beef. These are perfect for parties, and can be made ahead of time and kept warm in the slow cooker!
