Moink Balls Recipe - Bacon Wrapped Meatballs on the Grill - Easy Appetizer

Take a large bowl and add 1 pound of ground beef.

Add seasoning (a mix of salt, pepper, onion, and garlic) to the bowl.

Pour in a couple tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce.

Add 1 egg to the mixture.

Mix everything together with your hands.

Optionally, add breadcrumbs (the creator typically does not use them).

Form small balls of the meat mixture, about 1 to 1.5 inches in size.

Take a strip of bacon, stretch it slightly, and wrap it around each meatball.

Secure the bacon with a toothpick.

Coat the wrapped meatballs generously with barbecue rub.

Set up the grill for indirect cooking, with hot coals on one side and no coals on the other.

Aim for a grill temperature of about 300°F.

Place the moink balls on the grill indirectly.

Add your favorite hardwood for smoking.

Smoke the moink balls for about 1 hour.

After 30-35 minutes, check the color of the meatballs; they should have a nice mahogany color.

Continue cooking for another 30 minutes.

After 55 minutes, glaze the meatballs with barbecue sauce.

Close the lid and let them set for 5 to 10 minutes.

After a total cooking time of 1 hour and 10 minutes, remove the moink balls from the grill.
