   ["Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.", "In a food processor combine the bacon and 1of the garlic cloves. Process until finely chopped.", "Add the eggs, bread crumbs, and 1 teaspoon salt.", "Pulse to combine thoroughly, then add the pork and mint.", "Pulse until everything is just combined, but not over-processed into a paste.", "Form the meat into 16 two inch balls, and space them out on a 13x9"" baking dish (I use a gratin pan). Bake about 15 minutes until lightly browned.", "While the meatballs are cooking, combine the tomatoes, their juice, chipotles, and the canning sauce, oregano, the 2 remaining garlic cloves cut in half, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender or food processor. Process to a smooth puree.", "Since I use a ceramic baking dish, I heat the puree for 2-3 minutes in the microwave so I don't break another dish.", "When the meatballs are lightly browned, pour the tomato puree over them, covering them evenly. Bake until the sauce thickens about 15-20 minutes. Serve and enjoy"]
