INGREDIENTS

  • Meat

    • 🍖 3 pounds ground beef
    • 🥓 1 pound sliced bacon, cut in half crosswise

  • Bread and Dairy

    • 🍞 ½ cup dry bread crumbs
    • 🧀 ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • Herbs and Spices

    • 🌿 ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
    • 🧄 1 tablespoon minced garlic
    • 1 tablespoon onion powder
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 1 teaspoon dried basil

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, onion powder, salt, black pepper, oregano, and basil in a large bowl; form into 2-inch meatballs.

3

Wrap 1 half-slice bacon around each meatball; turn each meatball 45 degrees and wrap another half-slice of bacon to enclose. Place meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet, seam sides down.

4

Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are no longer pink inside, and bacon is crisp, about 45 minutes. Ensure an internal temperature of at least 160°F (70°C).
