NOW (January 24, 2019) \u2013 How do kids that love bacon cheeseburgers get to snack on them regularly without relying on fast food or frozen, store-bought cheeseburgers? With these Bacon Cheeseburger Meatballs! They are awesome to have in the freezer for after school snacks, especially after basketball or cheer practice.<\/p>\n

THEN (February 9, 2010) \u2013 Meatballs are a regular staple in our house because we all love them, they freeze beautifully and they work great with so many different sauces. (Not to mention when I\u2019m prepping a lot of ground beef for the freezer, making meatballs is a great way to quickly use up some of the meat.)<\/p>\n

The idea for these meatballs came to me when I was trying to think of a good, all-in-one meatball recipe that I could have in the freezer for quick meals for the kids. Those types of meals are so crucial for me because they allow my husband and I have to have guilt and stress-free date nights, whether at home or not. We can eat a special meal just for the two of us while the kids get their own special meal. It works out perfectly.<\/p>\n

However, in the case of these meatballs, they looked just too good so we all ate them for dinner. They definitely pack all the taste of a bacon cheeseburger into a simple meatball. These will definitely be made again and again!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
