Smoked MOINK Balls (aka Bacon Wrapped Beef Meatballs)

April 12, 2015

MOINK balls are one of those appetizers that are oh-so-simple to make but will be gone as soon as you set them down.

Created several years ago by my brother in smoke Larry Gaian, MOINK balls are the tasty combination of beef (moo) and pork (oink) in the form of frozen beef meatballs wrapped in bacon then smoked to perfection. Brush them with a little barbecue sauce and you're good to go! Note that while you can make your own meatballs, Larry's original recipe keeps it simple (stupid) with the precooked frozen variety.
