Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 ratio)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 8 slices thick-cut bacon

  4. Wrap each meatball tightly in a slice of bacon and secure with toothpicks if needed.
  5. Place on the grill over indirect heat and cook for 20-25 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C), turning occasionally.
  6. Brush BBQ sauce over each bomb in the last few minutes of cooking to caramelize.
