Equipment
- Traeger Pellet Smoker
- Wire Rack
- Large Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound sausage
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- ½ cup diced onions
- 1 carrot
- 1 celery
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper
- worcestershire sauce optional
Instructions
- Measure and prepare the ingredients. Mince the garlic, onion, carrot, and celery into very small pieces. In a small pan set to medium, sauté the vegetables with a little olive oil until they are completely tender.
- To make the meatball mixture, combine these ingredients in a large bowl: ground beef, sausage, egg, breadcrumbs, cooked vegetables, parmesan cheese, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Put on some disposable gloves and mix the meat mixture by hand.
- From here, roll the balls out into a consistent size and set on a sheet pan lined with a wire rack.
- Preheat your pellet smoker to desired temperature.
- When the Traeger has reached the desired temperature, place the wire rack directly on the grill grates and close the lid.
- Cook the meatballs until they reach an internal temperature of 155˚F.
- Remove the meatballs with the wire rack and serve immediately or transfer to a crockpot to keep warm.
