Provided by Pierce Abernathy

Categories     Dinner

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 lb ground beef
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons salt
¼ cup bread crumbs
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ onion, diced
⅓ cup fresh parsley, loosely packed
1 egg
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon mustard
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon honey

  • Wrap each meatball in 2 onion "shells", then with 2 strips of bacon, and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

STEAK 'N' BACON CHEDDAR MEATBALLS



Steak 'N' Bacon Cheddar Meatballs image

This is essentially a bacon cheeseburger in meatball form. The cooked steak should be diced into small bites, not ground, for the best texture.

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     dinner, main course, side dish

Time 45m

Yield About 2 dozen meatballs, 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, minced
Scant 8 ounces bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 pound cooked steak, diced
1 pound ground beef, 80% lean
6 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
3 large eggs
1/2 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
2 teaspoons salt
Black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add onion and bacon, and cook, stirring, until bacon has browned and onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer onion and bacon to a plate and cool in refrigerator.
  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Use the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, combine steak, ground beef, cooled bacon and onions, cheese, eggs, bread crumbs and salt, and mix lightly but thoroughly by hand. To taste for seasoning, heat a small skillet and fry a chunk of the mixture until browned. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Roll mixture into golf-ball-size balls, packing firmly. Pack snugly into the prepared dish, making even rows to form a grid. Roast for 20 minutes, or until firm and cooked through. (The center should be at 165 degrees.)
  • Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the meatballs will be. Choose fresh, lean ground beef, good-quality bacon, and sharp cheddar cheese.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Let the meatballs rest before cooking. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Cook the meatballs over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatballs are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite dipping sauce. BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, or honey mustard are all good options.

Conclusion:

These BBQ bacon and cheddar meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or tailgating. With their smoky BBQ flavor, crispy bacon, and gooey cheddar cheese, these meatballs are sure to be a hit.
