4 whole garlic bulbs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
3 bacon strips, diced
1-1/4 cups thinly sliced sweet onion
1 to 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
Dash pepper
1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese

1
Remove papery outer skin from garlic (do not peel or separate cloves). Cut tops off bulbs. Brush with oil. Wrap each bulb in heavy-duty foil. Bake at 425u00b0 for 30-35 minutes or until softened. Cool for 10-15 minutes. Squeeze softened garlic into a bowl; set aside.
2
In a large bowl, combine the egg, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Divide into 18 portions; flatten. Top each with 1/2 teaspoon softened garlic; form beef mixture around garlic into meatballs. Set remaining garlic aside.
3
In a large skillet, cook meatballs in batches until browned on all sides and meat is no longer pink.
4
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Add onion; cook for 4-6 minutes or until tender. Reduce heat; stir in the vinegar, sugar, pepper and remaining roasted garlic. Cook for 2 minutes or until heated through.
5
Drain meatballs; top with chutney and goat cheese. Serve with toasted French bread if desired.
