MEATBALL BOMB 5 LAYERS OF FLAVOR
So many layers of goodness in this recipe! The flavors are fabulous. And the cheese in the middle is a wonderful treat. Eat these as a main course, or make them a bit smaller for an appetizer. They are delicious! Don't forget... all ovens are different. In the Test Kitchen, after 40 minutes the bacon was not as crispy as I like. So I raised the temp to 425 and baked another 15 minutes. They came out perfect.

Steps:
- In one bowl mix together Italian sausage, 2 eggs and 1 c Parmesan cheese.
- In another bowl mix together ground beef, McCormick's seasoning, 1 egg and 1/2 c Parmesan cheese.
- Cut cheese into about 1" cubes.
- I used the middle size and large scoops. The middle size for ground beef, the large for sausage.
- Scoop 16 ground beef scoops. Roll in your hands to make a ball.
- Then press center down and out, place cheese inside and gently work the meat up and over the cheese. Then roll in hands for a few seconds to tighten it up.
- Scoop out 16 scoops of Italian sausage with the large scoop.
- Roll into a ball, then press down and out from center to make a well.
- Place smaller meatball stuffed with cheese inside. Gently push sausage up and over top of smaller meat ball. Roll in your hands for a few seconds to tighten meat up.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay a slice of bacon on paper, place meatball in center.
- Then bring bacon up and twist and back down. Tuck under meatball and place little skewer in center.
- Brush with your favorite BBQ sauce, I use Uncle Gary's Jalapeno BBQ sauce. http://unclegaryspeppers.com/
- Bake on center rack 325° for 40 min. Serve with potato salad or mac and cheese.
