Cheesy Jalapeno Bacon Wrapped Meatballs

Step 1

In a large bowl, gently combine the beef, bread crumbs, eggs, garlic, cheddar, jalapenos, and beef seasoning.

Step 2

Form the meat mixture into 1.5 inch balls.

Step 3

Wrap each ball with a half piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.

Step 4

When ready to cook, preheat your smoker to 275 degrees F.

Step 5

Place the meatballs directly on the grill grates and smoke for 40 minutes or until the meatballs reach 155 degrees F.

Step 6

Brush the meatballs with the BBQ sauce and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes or until they reach 165 degrees F. If you want crispier bacon, increase the heat in your smoker to 350-400 degrees F.

Step 7

Remove the toothpicks from the meatballs before serving.
