Preheat oven to 350F. Add the pork rinds to a food processor and pulse until completely crushed.
Chop the bacon into small pieces and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Add in the ground beef, crushed pork rinds, and mozzarella cheese.
Measure out the pepper, garlic, onion powder, salt, and eggs. Add them to the ground beef mixture — this is where the fun begins.
Knead everything together well by hand. It's a bit messy, but well worth it!
Roll the mixture into evenly-sized meatballs and place them on a foil-lined baking tray. Spread the meatballs out evenly to ensure proper cooking and keep them from sticking together.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, depending on the size of the meatballs.
Let them cool for 5 minutes or so, then remove them from the grease filled tray.
Serve with pesto sauce dolloped over each meatball.
