Cheesy Bacon Wrapped Meatballs
Let's get grilling
1
Set cheese and bacon aside.
2
Combine remaining ingredients, mixing well.
3
Using meat mixture, form meatball in hand (2–3 oz.), push center in and place 1 cube pepper jack cheese, roll in hand to close in cheese and create a solid stuffed meatball with no holes.
4
Place bacon strip on cutting board and press/stretch out gently with hands. (Thinning out bacon will ensure a crispy grilled product and make bacon go further. Depending on size of meatball, you may only use 1/2 a strip per ball.)
5
Wrap meatball completely and place on skewer (optional).
6
Grill over your favorite Kingsford® flavor briquet until bacon is crispy and meat is cooked thoroughly.
