Ingredients

The following ingredients have 40 Servings
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (original style)
  • 3/4 cup cooked/crumbled bacon (I like to cook my bacon in the oven and then stash it in the freezer for later)
  • 1/4 cup fine grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce
  • blue cheese dressing (for dipping)

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except blue cheese. Mix together with your hands (go ahead, get a little dirty!) and roll into meatballs (makes about 40 appetizer sized balls).
  • Place in a single layer on an oven-safe baking pan or dish, and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes (until centers are no longer pink).
  • Serve warm with blue cheese dipping sauce, or be like my husband and stuff it all in a hoagie and enjoy a giant smoked chipotle meatball sub!
