Spanish Meatballs

1 lb. ground chicken (breast or thighs, I've even used turkey)
1/2 onion
1 clove garlic
1 slice bacon, cut into small cubes (10 minutes in the freezer makes it easier to slice)
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
2 c. tomato sauce

Brown the bacon and drain over paper towels, cool. Saute the garlic and onion in the bacon fat for 5 minutes. Add the bacon, garlic, onion, salt and pepper to the ground chicken. Using your hands, mix thoroughly and form into ping-pong ball size balls.

Heat a small amount of olive oil over high heat, once hot add meatballs and brown. Once browned, turn heat to medium and add the tomato sauce. Simmer until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce is warm.
