  • 24 frozen pre-cooked 1-inch beef (or turkey) meatballs, thawed (you can do more or less)
  • 1 pound thick cut bacon, sliced in half (for a little added spice use peppered bacon)

  • All Spice Café Cayenne Habanero Sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Cut bacon in half then take a piece of bacon, wrap it around the meatball and slide it onto a bamboo skewer or a toothpick to hold it in place.
Then season to taste. You can use whatever you like and as much as you like. I like Green Mountain’s Sizzle Seasoning Blend. Put them on a platter, and head for the grill. If I have the time, I let them “smoke” for 30 minutes or so before turning the heat up to 400°F, and then I allow 30 to 45 minutes cook time. Keep in mind you’re only cooking the bacon because the meatballs are precooked. I give them about 15 minutes then I sauce and roll them for another 15 minutes. They are finished when the bacon is done to your liking.
Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it.
