Wrapped Meatballs Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Unroll dough into 16 triangles on cutting board; cut each triangle lengthwise in half. Place 1 meatball near short end of each triangle; roll up. Place, point sides down, on baking sheet.

• Sprinkle appetizers with cheese. Serve with pasta sauce.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F.
• If meatballs are frozen, heat them briefly 1 to 2 minutes in the microwave so they're just thawed. They don't need to be hot all the way through, since they'll be going in the oven.
• In medium bowl, stir together Bisquick™ mix and milk until it forms a dough. On surface lightly sprinkled with Bisquick™ mix, roll dough 1/4 inch thick. Use 3-inch round cutter to cut 12 circles. Wrap meatballs in dough circles; brush bottoms with melted butter, then arrange evenly in ungreased 8-inch square baking dish or 9 1/2-inch round pie plate. Brush tops and sides with remaining butter; sprinkle evenly with cheese.
• Bake at least 12 minutes until tops are slightly browned and dough is cooked through.
• Serve with tomato sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, cheese, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-in. balls., In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until partially cooked but not crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain. Wrap a piece of bacon around each meatball; secure with a wooden toothpick., Place meatballs on a greased rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake at 375° for 8 minutes. Turn; bake 3-5 minutes longer or until meat is no longer pink and bacon is crisp.

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients for the smoky BBQ sauce in a pan, add 125ml water and season well, then bring to a simmer, whisking until combined. Leave to cool.
• In a bowl, mix together all the meatball ingredients, except the cheese and bacon, and season well. Take a walnut-sized piece of the mixture and flatten it with your hands, then wrap it gently around a mozzarella ball and roll it into a circle the size of a ping-pong ball. You should end up with 20 balls.
• Cut each slice of bacon in half across the short side and wrap half a slice around each ball. Transfer the balls to a baking tray with the overlapping bacon edges underneath, and cook at 190C/170C fan/gas 5 for 20 mins. Brush with the BBQ sauce and return to the oven for 8-10 mins more or until nicely browned. Brush again with sauce and eat warm, with even more sauce on the side for dipping.
