Who loves bacon? Isn’t everything better with bacon? Many people like bacon for many reasons. Here is one of my favorite meatballs recipes that can be adapted to your taste, the Bacon Wrapped Paleo Meatballs.
The best thing with these paleo meatballs is you can add or take away anything you like. With 1 kilogram of minced meat, you don’t get any heat off the chili, just a nice addition to flavor. Also, if you like, you could fry off the bacon first, but I think it may dry it out too much. The bacon comes out nice and crispy after 30 minutes in the oven.
