How To Make bacon meatballs

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Step 2
  Cook bacon in a skillet over medium high heat until starting to crisp, about 4 minutes; remove & set aside on a paper towel lined plate. Leave bacon drippings in skillet.
• Step 3
  Saute onion in the same skillet (with drippings) over medium heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute.
• Step 4
  Combine beef, bacon, onion mixture, bread crumbs, parsley, paprika, salt & pepper in a large bowl; mix well. Stir in beaten egg.
• Step 5
  Form mixture into 1" meatballs & place on prepared broiler pan. Bake meatballs until fully cooked, about 10 minutes.
• Step 6
  TIPS: DOUBLE: Prepare twice the amount of meatball mixture & bake in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. FREEZE: Freeze (uncooked) meatballs on a baking sheet then transfer to an airtight container & keep frozen until ready to use. Thaw before baking.
