BBQ Smoked Meatballs

These smoked meatballs are not just any meatballs; they’re tiny flavor bombs that explode with every bite! Plus, they’re super easy to whip up. Let’s check out the ingredients you’ll need to get this smokefest rolling.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 large egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Your favorite BBQ sauce for glazing

Instructions

Preheat your Traeger grill to 225°F, because low and slow is the name of the game!
In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Get your hands in there and mix it well. Don’t be shy! It’s a fun squishy activity.
Once combined, roll the mixture into meatballs about the size of a golf ball. Or a little bigger if you’re feeling adventurous!
Place the meatballs on the grill grates. Don’t overcrowd them; give them some space to breathe and soak up that smoky flavor.
Smoke the meatballs for about 1 hour or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F. Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to check, because nobody likes undercooked meatballs!
During the last 10–15 minutes, brush your favorite BBQ sauce on top of those bad boys for an extra layer of deliciousness.
Once they’re done, pull them off the grill and let them rest for a few minutes (if you can resist!) before serving.

And there you have it—the ultimate BBQ Smoked Meatballs that will have everyone coming back for seconds! Serve them as an appetizer, a main course, or just gobble them up all by yourself. Who’s judging? Enjoy the smoky goodness!
