Sweet and Spicy Bacon Wrapped Meatballs

Course Appetizer
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 lb bacon cut in half (my package had 18 slices so I had 36 half-slices of bacon)
  • 36 meatballs or as many as you have bacon slices
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix together brown sugar and chili powder in a small bowl.
  • Spray a broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Cut a pound of bacon strips in half and wrap them around meatballs (I used store bought, fully cooked Italian style meatballs that I thawed in the microwave before wrapping them with bacon.), securing the bacon in place with a toothpick.
  • Dredge the bacon wrapped meatballs in the sugar and chili mixture, pressing to coat it well.
  • Place them on the greased broiler pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes, depending on how you like your bacon.
