Beef Meatballs Wrapped in Bacon (MOINKs)

I did a Google search today for bbq wrapped with bacon and discovered some pictures for MOINKs aka beef meatballs wrapped in bacon. MOINK stands for "MOO" and "OINK" (beef and pork).

I didn't follow any particular recipe, but here's a summary of how I made the tasty bbq treats.
