Make your own home-made meatballs and, for something a little different, wrap them in bacon and cheese. Serve with pasta and a tomato sauce.

Ingredients

500 g mince
red onion, finely chopped
1 Knorr brown onion gravy
1 egg
red pepper, finely chopped
1 tbsp Robertsons mixed herbs
salt and pepper (to taste)
2 ml Robertsons crushed garlic
12 slices streaky bacon
12 slices ready cheese, sliced (optional)

Cooking Method

In a large bowl add all ingredients, except bacon, and mix well.
Using a 125 ml measuring cup measure out the mince mixture.
Roll the mixture into balls.
Wrap a bacon slice around each meatball.
Place on a greased baking tray and bake in a preheated 180°C oven for about 45 to 50 minutes or until cooked.
Serve with noodles and vegetables.
OPTIONAL: When cooked, pop a slice of cheese over the meatballs and place under the griller for 5 minutes until the cheese has melted.
