BACON CHEESEBURGER MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• In a large bowl combine ground beef and seasonings. Use a 1-2 Tablespoon cookie scoop to make your meatballs. You should end up with about 24 meatballs. Line them in rows of 6 on a baking sheet. You can line the baking sheet with tinfoil to catch drippings for easy cleanup. Bake for 15 minutes.
• While the meatballs are cooking, cut five strips of bacon into 5 equal pieces per bacon strip. Cook in a skillet over medium heat. Remove and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Cut each piece of cheese into 6 rectangles.
• Halve the 12 cherry tomatoes (or more if you end up with more meatballs).
• Cut your lettuce into about 1 - 2 inch square pieces.
• Put together your layers with a meatball on the bottom, followed by a piece of cheese, then bacon, lettuce, and topped with a halved cherry tomato.
• Serve with ketchup, mustard, or any other burger style dipping sauce.
