Equipment

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375F.
Make the meatballs by combining lean ground beef, a beaten egg, grated Parmesan, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.
Divide the mixture into 16 portions and make them into meatballs. Place them on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or foil.
Bake them for 15 minutes or until they are cooked through.
Meanwhile, take the cheese and cut into quarters. Next, start preparing the skewers by threading on the cooked bacon and lettuce.
When the meatballs are done, place a square of cheese over each one.
If the meatballs look a little greasy, wipe the base of each one on some paper towels. Then thread them onto the wooden toothpicks.
Place them on a serving platter with some low carb ketchup
