Hi friends! It has been a few weeks, (or rather several!). I wanted to pop in to share a recipe with you that I made yesterday for the super bowl. This recipe was adapted from a recipe featured in People magazine way back in 2011. The article states that the recipe took home a blue ribbon at the NYC Wine & Food Festival that year. One bite and you'll understand why. Carson (now 2 1/2) was a big fan of these and ate several, Dominic (9) was not at all interested. So are they kid friendly? Let your kids decide. :)
INGREDIENTS:
1 TBSP olive oil
1/2 medium onion, minced
4 oz. raw bacon, diced
1 lb. ground beef
3oz. cheddar cheese, grated
1/4 C bread crumbs (mine were Italian seasoned)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp. salt
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spray the bottom of a 8X8 glass baking dish with cooking spray. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and bacon and sauté until golden. Transfer the onions and bacon to a small plate lined with a paper towel. Allow to cool. Then in a large bowl, combine the bacon, onions and the rest of the ingredients and mix well until thoroughly combined. Roll the mixture into 25 meatballs. Be sure to pack the meat firmly. Place them into the prepared 8X8 (five rows of five fit really well) and roast until cooked through, about 18 minutes. Allow the meatballs to cool for five minutes before transferring to a serving dish. Place one toothpick into each meatball and serve. ENJOY!
