Today we are going to show you how to make Smoked Bacon Wrapped Meatballs.
I dig anything that is wrapped in bacon, and smoked bacon is even better.
These meatballs are perfect for any occasion, be it the big game or a holiday gathering of family and friends. They make for a perfect appetizer that you will absolutely love.
Smoked Bacon Wrapped Meatballs
1 Bag of frozen meatballs; thawed
BBQ seasoning/rub
1 pack of bacon
Toothpicks
BBQ sauce
Slice the bacon in half. Wrap a piece of the sliced bacon around each of the thawed meatballs. Stick a toothpick through it to secure the bacon in place. Sprinkle a bit of the BBQ seasoning on the meatballs. Here is the rub I like.
Setup your smoker to smoke at 250 degrees. Using the smoking wood of your choice. I really prefer apple wood for these. You can also make these on an gas grill, you will need to regulate your heat, and use one of these smoker boxes.
Smoke the meatballs for approximately 1 hour, then coat with the BBQ sauce. Smoke for another 30 minutes before serving.
These are a really great appetizer for any outdoor cookout. Give them a try.
