Ingredients
- 16 oz Bacon
- 16 oz bag meatballs thawed, frozen, homestyle
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp chili powder
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- Toothpicks
Instructions
Prepare
- Get out slow cooker and set aside. Cut each slice of bacon into thirds.
Wrap and coat meatballs
- Wrap a thawed meatball with a piece of bacon, and secure well with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining meatballs and bacon.
- In a small bowl or deep plate, combine the brown sugar with chili powder, stirring together with a fork or whisk.
- Roll the bacon-wrapped meatball in the sugar mixture, patting to really adhere the sugar to the bacon. Add to the bottom of a slow cooker, then repeat with remaining meatballs.
Cook meatballs
- If you have more meatballs than can fit in a single layer in the slow cooker, they can be stacked. Just try to make sure the meatballs have a little bit of space in between them, so they'll cook evenly.
- Drizzle bbq sauce over the meatballs, then cover and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours, or about 2 hours on HIGH.
- Meatballs are finished cooking when the bacon is cooked through, and the meatballs reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve
- Serve warm, sprinkled with some minced fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- I've estimated this recipe will serve approximately 8 people. However, please feel free to divide this recipe up into as many servings as you'd like.
- For larger gatherings, I definitely recommend doubling this recipe.
- Please note that all slow cookers cook a little differently, with some running hotter than others, so all cook times are approximate.
