Giant Bacon-Wrapped Meatballs Recipe

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

Mix ground beef eggs Parmesan cheese parsley bread crumbs garlic onion powder salt black pepper oregano and basil in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Form meat mix into 2-inch meatballs.

Wrap half a bacon slice around a meatball; turn the meatball around 45 degrees and wrap a second half-slice of bacon around the meatball so the meat is enclosed by bacon. Repeat forming 12 meatballs and wrapping each one in 2 half-slices of bacon. Place wrapped meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet with seam sides down.

Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are no longer pink inside and bacon is crisp about 45 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Pour off excess grease.
