Ingredients  

  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20
  • 1 pound ground pork 80/20
  • 1 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 6 slices white bread
  • 1 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/4 cup parsley fresh, chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp salt

Instructions

  • Add egg and buttermilk to medium-sized bowl, and whisk together.
  • Add in white bread, and whisk until well mixed together and broken down.
  • Add remaining ingredients. Mix well.
  • Separate mixture into 3.5 oz portions, and shape into meatball-shaped balls.
  • Add meatballs to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. This recipe yields 16 meatballs.
  • Preheat your smoker to 225. Add tray of meatballs to smoker when it's been preheated. 
  • When the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees, pull the meatballs off the smoker and place them in a cast iron skillet. This should take around two hours.
  • Cover the meatballs in your favorite marinara sauce, while still in the cast iron skillet.
  • Return to your smoker and cook for another 15 minutes, to allow the sauce to stick to the meatballs. Allow to rest for 10 minutes, and ENJOY!
