Smoked Meatballs

This recipe was inspired by Ina Garten's "Real Meatballs and Spaghetti" recipe but the hubster and I have improved on it, in our humble opinion. :-) -Claire (& David)



Ingredients:

2 pounds of meatloaf mix (ground veal, pork and beef)

4 slices of bread, crumbled

1/4 cup dry bread crumbs

2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 large egg, beaten

basil, oregano, garlic powder to taste


Mix all ingredients together and roll into 2-inch meatballs. (I use a tablespoon scoop to make them sized evenly.) Sprinkle with favorite seasoning (We used Holy Voodoo)

Cook in your smoker at 300-350 degrees for about 30 minutes with your preferred wood chips.


Place in favorite sauce and simmer a little while.  (I have made sauce from scratch but lately have used Classico Organic Tomato, Herbs & Spices)


Serve with your favorite pasta.
