If you going to watch your favorite ball team or asked to make something for a party. Here are a few easy fun and very tasty snacks. Oh you are allowed to make these tonight, just because you want to eat them yourself.


Smoked Meat Balls

1 lb ground beef

1 lb ground pork

1/4 cup finely chopped onions

1/4 cup bread crumbs

1 egg

1 tablespoon black pepper

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl or mixer, and combine until mixture holds together.

Preheat your smoker to 225ºF and your favorite wood. Form the meat into 3/4 oz balls. Smoke at 225ºF until meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165ºF. Check internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer. The Instant Read Digital Thermometer from Butcher BBQ offers an accurate reading every time.

While the meatballs are smoking, prepare the red sauce.

Red Sauce

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic, crushed

3 tablespoon tomato paste

2 (28-ounce) cans of whole peeled tomatoes

Salt to taste

2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional)

Add oil and garlic to a large pot and heat over medium-low heat until garlic begins to sizzle. Add the Herb and Tomato Bratwurst Mix and stir until garlic begins to turn a light golden color. Stir in tomato paste and cook, continually stirring for 3 minutes. Add canned tomatoes and their juices, increasing the heat to medium-high. Bring to a simmer and then lower, occasionally stirring for about 30 minutes. Add salt and stir in melted butter. Combine the delicious red sauce with your fully cooked smoked meatballs for a superb start to your festivities.
