In a large mixing bowl, add 2 pounds of ground beef and all the ingredients except the bacon.

Mix well until all seasonings and eggs are incorporated into the ground beef.

Using gloves, form the mixture into meatballs, each weighing about 50 grams (1.7 ounces).

Take half a slice of bacon and wrap it around each meatball, then take the other half and wrap it the opposite way, ensuring the meatball is mostly covered in bacon.

Place the bacon-wrapped meatballs on a tray.

Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F).

Place the meatballs in the air fryer with the seam side down to help secure the bacon while cooking.

Cook the meatballs in the air fryer for about 10 to 15 minutes, checking to ensure they are cooked through.

If baking instead, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and cook for about 20 to 30 minutes, checking for doneness.

To freeze the uncooked meatballs, prepare a tray with parchment paper and arrange the meatballs with space between them.

Place the tray in the freezer for about 5 to 6 hours until frozen, then transfer to a vacuum-sealed bag for storage.
