SAUCY SMOKED MEATBALLS

Smoked Meatballs

Whatever ground meat you have on hand, be it venison, waterfowl, beef, pork or turkey, these are sure to be a hit. Adding a touch of smoke before pan frying takes these meatballs from good to great, giving them that extra layer of flavor that can't be attained with herbs or spices. The herb additions are endless so feel free to add to, or switch up, the Italian seasoning, basil and/or parsley to suit your flavor palate. Feel free to skip the cheese if you'd like, although it's a nice surprise in the middle of a meatball!

Smoked Meatballs

INGREDIENTS:

1.5 pounds ground meat

1 tablespoon olive oil (if using wild game with no added fat)

1 large egg

1/4 cup finely minced onion

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

2 mozzarella cheese sticks

Olive oil for frying pan

Smokehouse Cherry Wood Chips

DIRECTIONS:

In a large bowl, combine ground meat with oil (if using wild game), egg, onion, breadcrumbs, chopped herbs, garlic, pepper, and Italian seasoning until thoroughly combined.

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).
