Meatballs with Creamy Cheese Sauce and Crispy Bacon

This indulgent dish of meatballs topped with a rich cheese sauce and crispy bacon is a crowd-pleaser! It’s hearty, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 large egg

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

3-4 strips of bacon (cooked and crumbled)

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:
Prepare the Meatballs: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. Form into 12-15 meatballs.

Cook the Meatballs: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning them to ensure they’re browned on all sides. Transfer the meatballs to a baking dish.

Make the Creamy Cheese Sauce: In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Once heated, stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth.

Assemble the Dish: Pour the creamy cheese sauce over the meatballs in the baking dish. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked through.

Add the Bacon: Once out of the oven, top the meatballs with the crumbled crispy bacon and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Enjoy these rich and savory meatballs with creamy cheese sauce and bacon! They’re guaranteed to become a family favorite.
