Equipment

Ingredients

6 strips bacon cooked
1/2 cup yellow onion minced
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp parsley finely chopped
1 egg
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 Tbsp garlic powder
Vegetable oil for frying
1 cup barbecue sauce
1/3 cup water
4 Tbsp peach brandy

Instructions

Place cooked bacon in a food processor and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, processed bacon, minced onion, chopped parsley, Italian breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until ingredients are well combined.
Using clean hands, roll meat mixture into small 1-inch balls.
In a large frying pan add about 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch oil for frying. When oil is hot, carefully add meatballs and fry in batches until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove meatballs from pan and discard grease.
In a measuring cup or small mixing bowl, add the barbecue sauce, water, and peach brandy. Stir until well blended.
Add meatballs back to the frying pan, along with the barbecue sauce mixture, and cook until heated through and bubbly.

Notes

Helpful Tip: Serve meatballs with long toothpicks so they can be balanced on top of a cocktail glass. No plate to have to juggle!
