Bacon Meatballs (Low Carb and Gluten Free)

September 19, 2012 By Karen Sorenson

I was trying to think of some ideas to serve at parties during football season.  I ran across Against All Grain‘s post about party ideas and I really wanted to try making bacon meatball stacks. I just loved the idea! I don’t have a copy of the Paleo Parent’s book so I needed to come up with my own recipe.  A few months ago I made a 50/50 burger and it was delicious.  I figured I could turn it into meatball form pretty easily. Here’s my tasty recipe for Bacon Meatballs:

Bacon Meatballs Recipe (paleo, gluten free, lowcarb):


Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef
4 slices of bacon
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
  2. Place the bacon in a meat grinder or blender until the bacon is ground (almost like a paste).  Incorporate the bacon and all the spices into the ground beef, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.
  3. Form the mixture into equal sized meatballs (I made about 25 meatballs).
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through (160 F).

Serve in a lettuce wrap or as a skewer with mustard, lettuce, and tomato.
