Savvy with Abbie

This recipe was actually perfect for the Superbowl but seeing as how it's almost a week late, I figured I may as well share it for other events or next years Superbowl even. You can really use this as an appetizer for any holiday or meal. The original recipe used whiskey in the recipe. I didn't want to do that so I just made it my own below. If you make these, please let me know if you like them. I really, really loved them! Ingredients for the meatballs: 6 pieces of cooked bacon 2 tsp onion powder 2 tsp garlic powder 1.5 pounds ground beef 1/3 cup breadcrumbs 2 tsp parsley 1/4 cup half and half 2 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp chili powder 1 tsp salt Ingredients for the sauce: 1 cup BBQ sauce 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper chopped chives to top Directions: Cook bacon on the stove.  Use a potato masher to crush cooked bacon. In a bowl, combine the bacon bits, onion powder and garlic powder. Mix in the ground beef, breadcrumbs, parsley, half and half, and seasonings.
