Bacon Cheeseburger Meatballs

Bacon Cheeseburger Meatballs

These low-carb Bacon Cheeseburger Meatballs have all the comfort food appeal of grilled bacon cheeseburgers, without the carbs!

INGREDIENTS

  •  1 lb. lean ground beef
  •  2 tsp. steak seasoning (see notes)
  •  1/2 tsp. fresh-ground black pepper
  •  1 egg
  •  6 slices bacon, crumbled (see notes)
  •  1/4 cup chopped dill pickle (see notes)
  •  4 oz. Swiss cheese, cut into very small cubes (Or use other cheese of your choice.)
  •  olive oil for brushing meatballs

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Crumble the beef into a plastic bowl and sprinkle with the steak seasoning and black pepper; add the egg.
  2. Crisp the bacon and crumble, dice dill pickles, and cut the cheese into small cubes.
  3. Add the crumbled bacon, diced pickles, and cubes of cheese to the ground beef and use your hands to gently combine ingredients. (Don’t over-mix; that will make the meatballs tough.)
  4. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop out the beef mixture and then form it into a meatball, tucking the cheese cubes inside as you make the meatballs.
  5. Put formed meatballs on a small baking sheet and put them in the fridge to chill for 30-40 minutes. This will help the meatballs keep their shape on the hot grill.
  6. When you’re ready to cook, put the grilling pan on top of the grill grates to heat while you preheat grill to medium-high heat. (You can also cook on a Stove top Grill Pan , which should also be preheated.)
  7. Remove meatballs from the fridge and brush on both sides with a little olive oil to help prevent sticking.
  8. Put meatballs on the grilling pan to cook, turning them about every 2 minutes so they’re getting browned on all sides.
  9. Start checking for doneness after about 15 minutes.
  10. Serve hot, with dipping sauce for dipping meatballs if desired.
  11. These meatballs reheat well, so you may want to double the recipe to be sure you’ll have plenty left over to re-heat for another meal!

Notes- For a steak seasoning I like Rufus Teague, but any brand will work. For a saucetry Hires Fry Sauce, a Utah favorite! We used pre-cooked bacon and crisped it in the microwave, then blotted off the extra fat. Don’t use pickle relish; that will make the meatballs too moist.

    Hi! These look delicious! I’m looking for the notes, to see what they say about the steak seasoning, bacon and chopped dill pickles. I don’t see the notes anywhere. Would really like to make this recipe! Thank you for posting it. I hope you add the notes because I really need to follow a recipe – I’m not good at freelance cooking.
