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
4 slices of bacon
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- 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.
- Form the mixture into equal sized meatballs (I made about 25 meatballs).
- 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.

I ended up eating the meatballs for dinner and just made a lettuce wrap out of them. The bacon adds so much flavor to the meatballs. Bacon really does make everything better!Enjoy!~Karen
