Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped cooked bacon

  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Mix the ingredients until well combined, but avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender.
  • Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
