Meatball Ingredients

  • 500 grams of ground beef
  • 3-4 rashers of bacon, cook and chopped
  • Half a medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • Half a cup of parsley, chopped
  • Half a cup of breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder

Bourbon Barbecue Sauce Ingredients

  1. In a large pan, cook the bacon over a medium heat until crispy. Chop the bacon finely and add to a large bowl with the minced beef.
  2. Add the onion, parsley, egg, breadcrumbs and seasonings to the meatball mixture and use your hands to combine well.

  6. Remove from the heat and toss the meatballs in the sauce.
  7. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Line the baking tray with baking paper and spray with cooking spray.
  8. Mix all ingredients until well blended, shaping them into balls.
