Prepare the Meatballs: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. Form into 12-15 meatballs.
Cook the Meatballs: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning them to ensure they’re browned on all sides. Transfer the meatballs to a baking dish.
Make the Creamy Cheese Sauce: In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Once heated, stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth.
Assemble the Dish: Pour the creamy cheese sauce over the meatballs in the baking dish. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked through.
Add the Bacon: Once out of the oven, top the meatballs with the crumbled crispy bacon and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
