party meatballs

Smoked meatballs stuffed with mozzarella cheese, slowly smoked on the grill, and then finished with a BBQ sauce glaze. These are the ultimate game day food or appetizer for your next gathering.&nbsp;

Smoked Stuffed BBQ Meatballs

beef (80/20)

pork

pork panko breadcrumbs

dry rub (we used the one in the notes below)

thyme

red onion, diced

garlic,

Worcestershire sauce

cheese,

mozzarella cheese sticks,

barbecue sauce

Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F. We used apple wood chunks with lump charcoal on our Big Green Egg.

While the smoker is warming, prepare the meatballs by combining all ingredients (less the BBQ sauce and mozzarella cheese) and combine with your hands. Be gentle just mix enough so it's all together.

Prepare meatballs by rolling a little over a tablespoon in size and then using your thumb, press a small indent and place cheese in the fold. Then work the meatball again around the cheese so you have the meat surrounding the cheese. That's why we go with larger meatballs.

Place meatballs in the smoker until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees (about 45 minutes) when checking the internal temperature of the meat. Then place the meatballs in a heat proof dish (or cast iron skillet) with the BBQ sauce and return to your smoker and close lid.

When the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees (or about 15 more minutes) they are done. Serve warm!!!

These Sweet and Spicy Party Meatballs are the perfect easy appetizer for a crowd. With only 4 ingredients and a spicy bbq flavor, these are the perfect twist on a classic cocktail meatball recipe.

In a medium-size bowl mix together the beef, pork, bread crumbs, onion, parsley, garlic, eggs, salt, and pepper until just combined.

Take a walnut size of the meat mixture and roll into a ball. Repeat with remaining meat and transfer to an oiled rack on a sheet tray.

Bake meatballs for 15 minutes, until golden brown. Set aside.

Melt butter in a pan on medium heat and allow it to brown slightly. Stir in the flour completely and cook for about 1 minute creating a pale roux.

Add the beef broth, stir, and cook until it thickens.

Add in the ground allspice, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and the heavy cream, stir, and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes.

Add the meatballs and coat them with the gravy.

Sprinkle with the parsley, poke with toothpicks, and serve!
