BBQ Bacon Meatballs

BBQ Bacon Meatballs

I have been kind of in a meat rut lately. Same crap every week. I was trying to think of something different, but also trying to use the 1/4 beef we bought. I have been grilling a lot since the weather is starting to warm up. So I came up with grilled meatball kabobs. This had potential for disaster, but I tried it anyway.

Here's what you need.

1.5 LBS Ground Beef

1 Slice of bread minced

Granulated Garlic

Kosher Salt

Pepper

Bbq Sauce I used sweet baby rays

Mustard 

1 Egg

6 or 8 strips of bacon

6 or 8 wooden skewers 

Here's what you do.

-Take the meat, bread, egg, about 1/2 teaspoon of each seasoning, about 1 T bbq, 1/2T mustard. 

-Mix together, and form into balls. 

I do about 1 1/2 inch balls. 

-Then, thread the bacon on the skewers while putting the meat balls on at the same time. 

-You can put them in the fridge to firm up a little bit before you grill. I have grilled them without chilling, but I think it works better if you chill. 

-Make sure you heat up the grill before you put them on this will help keep them from sticking. 

-Brush with bbq sauce when you put them on the grill. Each time you turn them sauce the top. 

-You will be able to tell when they are done by pressing on them to see if they are firm.

Enjoy!
