Bacon-Wrapped Meatballs Recipe

In a large bowl mix ground beef, corned beef, onion, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and eggs. Mix well. Using a small ice cream scoop, form into balls. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking tray.

Wrap a piece of bacon around a meatball. Use a toothpick to secure the bacon. Repeat with remaining meatballs.

Heat enough oil in a saute pan over medium heat for frying. A deep fry thermometer should read about 350?F. Deep fry meatballs until bacon is crisp and meatballs are cooked through. Drain on a rack over paper towels. Pack once cooled.

Meanwhile, make cheese sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk water, cheese, and mustard until melted. Season to taste with salt and ground black pepper. Serve with meatballs.
