BACON-WRAPPED STUFFED MEATBALLS

Print

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
• In a heavy-bottomed skillet, melt the ghee (such as cast iron). Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are translucent, after adding the onions and seasoning with salt. Put the onions in a bowl to cool.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, and egg. When the onions are cool enough to touch, add them to the bowl with the meat mixture and combine everything with your hands.
• Form the meat mixture into a 2-inch ball and wrap it around a large cheese curd or cube. Wrap a half strip of bacon around the meatball, then another half strip, forming an X, and wrapping it around the meatball. Place the wrapped meatball on a rimmed baking sheet and use a toothpick to secure the bacon to the meatball.
  Continue with the remaining meat mixture, cheese, and bacon.
• 12 minutes in the oven, or until the bacon is cooked and golden brown. If desired, top with ranch dressing or mustard.
• Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a baking dish for 5 minutes, or until warmed through, in a preheated 190°C/375°F oven.
