That's A Spicy Meatball!

These are no ordinary meatballs![/caption] Recently on our Facebook page one of our amazing Fire Cider fans told us she's been making Fire Cider infused meatballs.  Yum!  I decided to give the idea a try.  We were having friends over for dinner so I made a meatloaf version using Mark Bittman's basic meatloaf recipe as a guide.  I'm sure most of you have a recipe you always use but just in case, here's what I did, the recipe will serve 6-8 people.  And if you have time, this recipe is great for meatballs too! Ingredients: 2 pounds ground beef 1 pound ground lamb (or pork) 1/2 pound bacon, half of it minced and half reserved in strips. 1/2 cup cream or milk 3 Tablespoons ground flax 1 extra-large farm egg 2 Tablespoons Fire Cider 1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese 1/2 small white onion, minced 1 tsp salt 1 tsp chili powder or hot pepper flakes [caption id="attachment_448" align="aligncenter" width="538"]Ready to bake!

Shape into a loaf in a glass baking dish, make sure there is some room on all four sides. Lay the remaining strips of bacon on top. Bake at 350 for about 1 hour to 1.5 hours, until it's firm and reads 160 degrees in the center! Take it out, let it rest for about 15 minutes, transfer to a plate and serve.
