A few quick snacks to have with a cold beer

MOINK BALLS (moo + oink)

Ingredients
* Meatballs
* Bacon rashers
* Fav rubs

Cooking method
Cut bacon to size (about 1/2 a rash) and use these to wrap the meatballs individually using toothpicks to hold them together. Dust them with your fav rub ingredients (I use salt, pepper, chilli & garlic powder). Place in a smoker with your fav wood chip untill cooked. If you dont have a smoker you can bake, fry or BBQ them...SIMPLE!

Heat sealed preserving jars may last months in storage.
If not using preserving jars I would eat ASAP after curing...
