“Haven't we had these before?” my son asked as he tucked into these bacon wrapped burger skewers. “New recipe!” I replied. But he wasn't convinced. We finally worked out that he meant my BBQ Bacon Wrapped Meatballs – so I suppose that he can be forgiven for the confusion!
This recipe can be prepared in advance if you're using metal skewers, like I did. Store them covered in the fridge until required, or you can just cook them straight away! If you're using wooden then you'll want to pre-soak them in water for at least an hour before threading the meat and cooking. Either way they're really quite easy to cook – and a real crowd- (and son-) pleaser!

How to Make Bacon Wrapped Burger Skewers
Add some ground beef to a large bowl, together with some dried thyme, onion powder, salt and pepper. Mix well to combine, using your hands if necessary!
Divide the mixture into eight portions, and make one into a sausage shape.
Thread it onto a metal skewer (see notes above for using wooden skewers).
Finally, wrap a slice of raw bacon around it. Repeat with the other seven skewers. Place them on a baking sheet lined with a non-stick metal rack, and roast in a preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until cooked through.
If you prefer the bacon a little crispier, you could either switch the oven to broil to finish them off, or pop them on a grill for 5 minutes!
Serve with low carb ketchup or a low carb barbecue sauce!
Once you make these, I'm sure they'll be a new family favorite!
