Pork and Bacon Meatballs with Spicy Sweet Dip
To those who never have enough bacon in their lives, we salute you.- Prep Time 10 Minutes
- Cook Time 15 Minutes
Ingredients
For the Meatballs:
-
1 lb Ground Pork
-
12 oz Bacon, uncooked, diced finely
-
3 T shallot, finely minced
-
1 T Coarse ground Dijon mustard
-
½ T Worcestershire Sauce
-
1 T freshly ground Tan Hoi Peppercorns
-
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
For Frying:
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
For the Dip:
-
1 cup Mayonnaise
-
½ cup Hot sauce, i.e. Sriracha, Cholula
-
½ cup Orange Marmalade
Directions
-
Place a sheet of parchment on a rimmed half sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray
-
Put everything for the meatballs into a large bowl and mix until thoroughly combined.
-
Roll your meatballs to about a 1.5” diameter and line up on your half sheet.
-
Heat oil in a large fry pan and place your meatballs in the pan. Do NOT crowd the pan. I have a large pan and only cook half the meatballs at a time.
-
Brown all over on medium heat; figure about 10 minutes to thoroughly cook.
-
Break one open to make sure they are cooked through; I take them off just before all the pink is gone; these meatballs carryover cook, so they are perfectly done while waiting for the others to be done.
-
Pile them on a plate and serve with our Spicy Sweet Dip
