Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds ground beef
3 eggs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
½ cup dry bread crumbs
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

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix ground beef, eggs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, bread crumbs, garlic, onion powder, salt, black pepper, oregano, and basil in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Form meat mix into 2-inch meatballs.
  • Wrap half a bacon slice around a meatball; turn the meatball around 45 degrees and wrap a second half-slice of bacon around the meatball so the meat is enclosed by bacon. Repeat, forming 12 meatballs and wrapping each one in 2 half-slices of bacon. Place wrapped meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet with seam sides down.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are no longer pink inside and bacon is crisp, about 45 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Pour off excess grease.

BACON-WRAPPED SAUSAGES



Bacon-Wrapped Sausages image

These little guys are ALWAYS a hit with the adults and kids. Barbecue appetizers or backyard hors d'oeuvres as I like to call them are a great way to give your guests a hint of what they're in store for. Not to mention they'll fend off the hungry crowds while the ribs are finishing. But don't be offended when some misguided soul raves about these and neglects to mention your fine 'cue! You can do these on the pan in your smoker or if its full they work just as well in the oven. Trust me, they're great either way.

Categories     Pork

Time 1h10m

Yield 20 wrapped sausages

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb bacon
1 (2 lb) package smoked sausage (Bar-S, Falls Brand...)
1 -2 tablespoon chili pepper flakes or 1 -2 tablespoon candied ginger
3/4 teaspoon brown sugar (per sausage)
toothpick

Steps:

  • Cut the bacon strips in half length-wise (just leave in the package and cut with a knife). Cut the sausage into pieces that are about the same width of the bacon strips. Just toss the ends of the sausages.
  • Wrap the 1/2-strips of bacon around the sausages and hold it in place with a toothpick. Place on top of a cookie sheet. Now I like to do these two ways: for a spicy kick shake a few pepper flakes on top of each sausage or for more of a sweeter flavor try a small sliver of candied ginger.
  • Top each sausage with a loose 1/2 - 3/4 tsp scoop of brown sugar. The brown sugar will be used to gauge when the sausages are done. When it melts down and turns into a little volcano of brown sugar they are READY!
  • If your grill is already full then put these in your oven at 300°F for approximately 45-60 minutes. Its nearly impossible to overcook these, but you do want to keep some of the molten brown sugar on top for flavor. So don't forget to give your guests this treat.
