Not My Grannies Meatballs

The original dinner was going to be a meatloaf but things changed from the grocery to home. They came out great and I can’t say I’ve ever cooked a meatball so blingy. Keep reading

Wouldn’t really put this in the Italian section but more like the party section. The recipe is just for the meatballs not the pasta. I ended up with 8 measured meatballs for the win. Great little appetizer for a small dinner party.

Instructions

Start oven to 350 and get a cooking grate on top of cookie sheet for finished meatballs.
In a large bowl mix everything with hands well BUT mozzarella, bacon, garlic, ¼ tsp salt, and 1 tsp basil.
Wrap 2 cloves of garlic with foil and set on meatball holder.
If you are weighing the meatball these are 5 oz and a pretty good sized handful not as big as a baseball. 2 ½ inch here or there.
Throw 9 toothpicks on the counter, get a handful of meat, and roll it into a ball.
Push a cube of mozzarella and half of garlic into center of meatball.
Pinch in the hole and reroll meatball making sure the garlic and mozzarella are covered.
Take a half a strip of bacon, wrap it around the ball, and poke through the bacon seams into the meatball with a toothpick.
Place finished balls about 1 inch apart on meatball holder.
Rinse and repeat #5 to #9 until not more meatball supplies are left.
Place an 350 oven for 45 minutes or until bacon is visually done.
Go ahead in a small bowl add the olive oil, chopped basil, and salt.
When meatballs are done carefully open the foil packet with garlic cloves and put them in small bowl with basil and olive oil.
Take a fork or muddler type tool to smash and mix the small bowls ingredients.
Plate up your feast however you plan on getting after it. Pour the small bowl of basil roasted garlic over the top for nice touch. Enjoy mi amigo!!

Hay yall! Don’t be afraid to adjust or substitute ingredients to your taste. These recipes didn’t come from a written measured recipe. They are made, noted, measured on the fly, then pumped up here when time permits and most importantly only if they tasted good.

If you don’t have any Texas Butter I guess we’ll overlook it if you use what’s in your pantry. Be sure to ask how something turned out or you have questions. Expect grammar errors, these are not checked much other than what my browser flags. Well, in general I can’t spell worth a crap. Thanks – Shawn
