bacon wrapped meatballs

Sweet and Spicy Bacon Wrapped Meatballs
 
Prep time
Cook time
 
Serves: about 36
Ingredients
  • 1 lb bacon, cut in half (my package had 18 slices so I had 36 half-slices of bacon)
  • 36 meatballs (or as many as you have bacon slices)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix together brown sugar and chili powder in a small bowl.
  3. Spray a broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  4. Cut a pound of bacon strips in half and wrap them around meatballs (I used store bought, fully cooked Italian style meatballs that I thawed in the microwave before wrapping them with bacon.), securing the bacon in place with a toothpick.
  5. Dredge the bacon wrapped meatballs in the sugar and chili mixture, pressing to coat it well.
  6. Place them on the greased broiler pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes, depending on how you like your bacon. I like mine crispy, so I baked them for 45 minutes.
