Category: Meatballs
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

8 to 10 slices applewood smoked bacon
1 lb ground chuck
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 package onion soup mix
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1 tbsp coarse black pepper
1 tbsp beef stock
8 to 10 bocconcini mozzarella balls

Marinara:
1/4 cup olive oil
1 yellow onion, finely diced
2 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp freshly chopped basil leaves
2 tbsp freshly chopped oregano leaves
1 tbsp coarse ground black pepper
2 (14 oz) cans crushed tomatoes
2 (14 oz) cans diced tomatoes in puree
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tbsp chicken bouillon


Meatballs: Preheat the oven to 400. Arrange the bacon slices on a sheet pan. Put in the oven and bake until crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan to a cutting board and chop. Set aside.

In a large bowl, mix together the beef, Worcestershire, onion soup mix, bread crumbs, black pepper, stock and the chopped bacon.

Form portions of the meat around bocconcini to make smooth balls. Arrange the meatballs on a sheet pan with a rack and bake until thoroughly browned, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Marinara: Add the oil to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot add the onion, garlic, basil, oregano and pepper and saute for a few minutes. Stir in the crushed and diced tomatoes, red pepper flakes and the bouillon. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.

Remove the meatballs from the pan to a serving platter and serve with the marinara sauce.

NOTE: These make the best meatball sandwiches!
