½ pound hot Italian pork sausage casing removed
½ pound ground beef
½ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
½ cup chopped cooked bacon

Appetizer and Snack Step 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Step 2 Heat olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook onion until softened about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant 1 minute more. Remove from heat. Step 3 Combine Italian sausage ground beef bread crumbs cooked bacon egg salt pepper and the contents of the skillet in a bowl. Using your fingers combine ingredients until they are well mixed. Form into about 14 meatballs 2 inches in diameter and place on the prepared sheet pan. Step 4 Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Step 5 While the meatballs are baking make the glaze. Combine water maple syrup soup base and cayenne pepper in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Bring to a boil and reduce heat slightly. Boil until reduced by half 8 to 10 minutes. Step 6 Remove glaze from heat and allow to cool. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down any syrup that clings to the sides of the skillet and stir back into the glaze. Step 7 Place meatballs in a serving dish and drizzle glaze over each meatball. Top with cooked crumbled bacon and serve warm with toothpicks.
