Ingredients
Meatball Recipe
2 lbs lean ground beef
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 package Laughing Cow jalapeno flavored cheese, unwrapped (or 1/2 cup cream cheese)
1 tbsp finely diced jalapeno pepper
1 cup shredded sharp or extra old cheddar cheese
2 tbsp vegetable oil
36 strips pre-cooked bacon
Barbecue sauce
Directions
In a medium bowl, using a fork, mash the Laughing Cow cheese until soft. Stir in the diced jalapeno and the shredded cheddar cheese.
Using clean damp hands, roll into small balls about 1/8 of an ince in diameter. Once rolled, place in the freezer for about 10 minutes to harden.
In a large bowl mix the ground beef with the garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Roll into meatballs, about 2 inches in diameter and then using your finger make an indentation in the center of each. Place one of the hardened cheese balls into the indentation and wrap the ground beef around to cover, rolling again. Gently brown in batches of six in a pan over medium heat in 2 tbsp of hot vegetable oil. Turn and move them continuously until browned on all sides and then let rest on a rack while you make the next batch.
Wrap each meatball in a slice of pre-cooked bacon, affix the bacon with a toothpick or skewer, and then brush all over with barbecue sauce. Cool and place in freezer bags for holiday entertaining or bake immediately.
If baking right away, do so on a tinfoil covered sheet treated with cooking spray in a 350 oven for 20 minutes. If frozen, let thaw on the counter and then bake using the same directions.

Great video Lyndsay, love the innuendo! Big V’s balls look good, I mean
meatballs!
Hi Lyndsay! Once again, you have made me drool with your delicious looking
food. These meatballs look so good, and I know I’ll be trying these soon.
Thanks so much for sharing! Merry Christmas, my dear friend, to you and
yours! Lots of love, Colleen xox :-)
Lyndsay, you have me swooning here as I imagine the ecstasy of biting into
those balls! Meat, cheese and spice can’t be combined more seductively than
this. The addition of bacon kicks these balls into orbit! Did you realize
that this recipe is very low carb? This is PERFECT for me. I’m saving it to
my favorites. You and Big V are hilarious together! Great production!
Thanks so much for an awesome recipe. I greatly appreciate that you printed
it all out in the notes.
Great video and a wonderful looking recipe!! We eat that laughing cow
cheese all the time. Hope all of you have a very Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year!!!
Nothing like BBQ sauce on balls!!! I laughed until I cried! Not just
because of the little play on words you had going but also because you
looked a little embarrassed at first, not to mention the look you gave Big
V when he started taking over the recipe, ha ha! Too cute! Btw…tell
your hubby I hope his cheesy balls have cooled down enough to eat (Oh no I
didn’t) !
Another great one you two…. looks YUMMM!! Hope all is well with you guys.
