Triple Bacon Meatballs {Bacon Lovers}

So... I took a bunch of bacon and shoved it into 55 meatballs. I share this recipe for Triple Bacon Meatballs because I deeply love you.


I make no bones about it - I love bacon. BAAAAAAAACON.

A while back Papa Murphy's had this pizza that was called the Bacon, Bacon, Bacon Pizza. {would they just hire me to come up with their pizza names already?!?} The pizza was crammed full of bacon, bacon and more bacon - and lucky for me, my in-laws left some after watching the kiddos one day. {score!} The pizza was amazing, I can't believe it's not on Papa Murphy's regular menu. The Bacon, Bacon, Bacon Pizza was the complete inspiration for these Triple Bacon Meatballs

Ground pork, Canadian bacon, peppered bacon, maple bacon. drool.



I had never thought about ordering Ground Bacon at the meat shoppe, but now I'm wondering how wonderful it would be. This time I just put cut up pieces of raw bacon into my food processor and processed until the meat was in small-ish chunks.


Then I diced the Canadian Bacon like I had OCD...


Ok, so we got ground pork, peppered bacon, maple bacon, canadian bacon, green onions, red onions, garlic, salt, pepper and bbq sauce.

Wash your hand because they are about to get dirty...


I like to grill my meatballs using a meatball bbq rack I found somewhere online. This damn internet... I recently found it on amazon for $18.60 - great deal!! {am I the only one who pronounces it uh-mazin'?}


These Triple Bacon Meatballs are spectacular - I don't know how else to describe them. They have ground bacon in them, so that should pretty much sum it up. SPECTACULAR.
