Oven baked beef and bacon meatballs basted with barbeque sauce, perfect to make mini for finger food or large to serve as a main with mac and cheese or mash and steamed vegetables.
Easy to prepare, I quite often prepare these the night before or in the morning, cover the dish with glad wrap keep in the fridge so that I just need to put them in the oven when I get home at the end of a busy day.
The combination of beef, bacon and cheese pairs perfectly with smoky barbeque sauce to produce the best kind of comfort food.
