Smoky Meatballs

by Smokehouse Products 23 Jul 2014 0 comments
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs (smoked)
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 lbs. smoked ground beef
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • pepper to taste
  • butter for frying
Start by smoking your ground beef. Spread your ground beef in a shallow pan or on a fine screen (preferably) and place in your pre-heated and smoking Big Chief, Little Chief or Mini Chief Electric Smoker for 20 minutes. Our Drying Screens by Smokehouse Products are perfect for smoking ground beef or jerky, and easily cleans up in the dishwasher. Hickory or Alder Wood Chips will add a zippy flavor to the meatballs. Mesquite Wood Chips are a westerner's delight, and Apple Wood Chips are a bit more mellow. Cherry Wood Chips will hit 'em where it counts... so take your pick. To smoke your break crumbs, start by soaking them in milk. Saute the 1/2 cup chopped onions in a butter until tender. Combine soaked crumbs, onion, smoked ground beef, eggs, salt and pepper and beat with an electric mixer until blended smooth and rather shiny. Chill for 1 hour. Form into balls, wetting your hands in cold water as you go. Be sure there are no cracks in the surface of the meatballs or they will crumble when cooked. Fry meatballs in a small amount of melted butter. Shake the pan occasionally, This helps to keep the balls round. Let them cool once they are done and stick a toothpick in and enjoy! ... or include them in your favorite recipes of spaghetti and meatballs, soups and more!

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
