- Shape the mixture into 18 to 20 meatballs, about 2.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the baking sheet.
- Bake the meatballs for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then remove and drain on paper towels.
- Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat, and add minced garlic, cooking until fragrant.
- Slowly add the heavy cream to the skillet, stirring in salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese until melted.
