BBQ Bacon Cheddar Crockpot Meatballs

So this year I decided to concoct my own crockpot recipe for today's big game and since it turned out pretty damn good I figured I would share so here ya go.

MEATBALLS
Ingredients :
4 lbs ground beef (I went with 80/20)
16 strips of bacon, diced (to save time I went with a package of precooked)
2 cups of shredded cheese (cheddar obviously, but feel free to change)
1/4-1/2 cup of bread crumbs
Dashes of salt, pepper and garlic powder

Mix all the above in a large bowl until well mixed then hand roll and fry over med-high heat. Once cooked to your preference remove and let drain. Once drained place in crock pot. (I made mine the night before should you do the same when cool cover and refrigerate.)

Makes approx 75

SAUCE
Go nuts! Seriously BBQ sauce is about as sacred as the big game itself so go with what you like best. For today's game I went with 4 reg size bottles of Open Pit (2 bottles of Thick & Tangy and 2 of Chargrill mixed and then poured over meatballs) set crockpot to low about 5hrs before kickoff so they can soak in the awesomesauce (I love P&R) had a sample a few minutes ago and I'm goona go ahead and say they rock.

Enjoy!

If anyone does decide to make them I would love feedback.

Thanks for the kind words, the low res for web pic doesn't do them justice, the one on the left was from my vacation in Maine last summer and the one on the right was a gift for my wife about 6 years ago. I highly recommend (pun intended) Formula 420 for cleaning, shit is amazingly awesome.

Hello there shmoeville! In honor of Winter-een-mas 2012 (if you still aren't familiar with this holiday check it out here) I am dedicating this weekend to gaming, from 6pm Friday Night until 3pm Sunday Afternoon I will be parked in front of my television with my 360 gaming my ass off (Sorry I just don't have the library for the PS3). If anyone would like to set up some matches, tourneys, or any of that type of shit hit me up. If there is enough interest I will create a schedule of what will be played when and all that good stuff. Below is a list of the retail games I currently have in my arsenal that I'm thinking about busting out, I also have A TON of XBLA stuff as well. Hopefully enough of us can get together and celebrate another aspect of what makes this community so awesome, gaming.

@dead - I've posted about this Holiday the past couple years and I think you're the first one who also knew about it, good to know!!

@speed - That's a bummer. You can always play some shit locally.
