Spaghetti with Cheese Stuffed Bacon-Beef Meatballs... or Magic Gris Gris to get into the Pants of that guy You've been Crushing On™

I have to tell you, my hubby loves anything with bacon in it. He would probably eat bacon tirimisu and say it was the best thing ever invented by man or nature. So when I saw something on food network about meatballs made with bacon and stuffed with cheese, I decided it was time to repay him for taking such good care of me while I was a sickeyface. I therefore had to recreate these bacon beef balls of wonder. And because man cannot live on beefy balls alone, I had to pair them with spaghetti and three cheese marinara sauce. Put this cheesy, meaty, bacony, make you sick if you eat very much of it masterpiece together with a frosty beer and dudes are in heaven. They love you forever.

So for those of you with a hubby to thank, a male boss that won't come up off a raise, or a hot dude you've been eyeing and a certain itch that needs scratching, I suggest you try...

Spaghetti with Cheese Stuffed Bacon-Beef Meatballs... or Magic Gris Gris to get into the Pants of that guy You've been Crushing On™

• 8 to 10 slices applewood smoked bacon
• 1 pound ground beef (for optimum results don't use the healthy stuff that us chicks like. Dudes can sense that sort of thing and you won't score.)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 package onion soup mix
• 1/2 cup italian season bread crumbs
• 1 tablespoon coarse black pepper
• 2 1/2 tablespoons beef stock
• 8 to 10 mozzarella balls marinated in olive oil and italian seasonings

Preheat yo' oven to 400 degrees.
Arrange the bacon slices on a sheet pan or handy dandy bacon microwaver. Put in the oven or microwave and cook until crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan to a cutting board and chop it up.

Get a bowl and mix together the beef, Worcestershire, onion soup mix, bread crumbs, black pepper, stock and the chopped bacon. Don't mix it too much or you'll get e. coli under your nails.
Grab a mozzerella ball and a wad of meat. Make a little nest in your palm with the meat and set the ball in it like an egg. Then carefully mold the beef up around the ball. The mozzerella should be totally enclosed in the meat and the whole meatball should be just bigger than a golf ball. Repeat process until you run out of meat or cheese.
At this point put two pots on the stove. Fill one with some sort of yummy marinara sauce and simmer it over medium heat. Fill the other with water and bring it to a boil. When the water starts boiling put spaghetti in it. At the same time put meatballs in the oven on a cookie sheet on the middle rack. Let both of those things go for about 12-15 minutes.
Drain the spaghetti, take the meatballs out of the oven. Put the spaghetti in a bowl. Put a dollop of butter on it for good measure. Ladle marinara sauce over. Pile some meatballs on top of that. Ladle some more marinara sauce on top. Sprinkle with parmesean cheese. Serve with prosecco to be classy or a big frothy beer if you're hoping to make your target dude happy.
