Combine ground beef
eggs
bread crumbs
Parmesan cheese
parsley
garlic
onion powder
salt
black pepper
oregano
and basil in a large bowl; form into 2-inch meatballs.
Wrap 1 half-slice bacon around 1 meatball; turn meatball 45 degrees and wrap 1 half-slice bacon around meatball to enclose. Repeat with remaining bacon and meatballs
forming 12 meatballs
wrapping each with 2 half-slices bacon. Place meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet

Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs no longer pink inside and bacon crisp
