Throwdown #30: Wrapped in Bacon


 
Here is my entry for Throwdown #30 Wrapped in Bacon.

Meatball Bombs

These guys are made from 2 lbs. of Spicy Italian Sausage and 1 lb. of ground beef. The beef mixture includes one egg, bbq seasoning, and parmesan cheese The smaller beef meatball is wrapped around a 1 inch square of pepper jack cheese. The beef meatball is then wrapped in the Italian Sausage, forming a larger meatball. The sausage mixture includes two eggs and parmesan cheese. I added two jalapenos to the sausage mixture also. Once the meatball is formed, around a 4 oz meatball, it is wrapped in two pieces of peppered bacon and then sauced liberally with bbq sauce, in this case Rufus Teague's Sweet Heat. On grill for about 40 minutes.

Ingredients.



Beef on the left, sausage on the right.
