Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine Ground Beef, bread crumbs, eggs, and spices in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 1-inch meatballs. Place on a rack in a sheet pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.

  2. Step 2

    Prepare smoker to MEDIUM heat, about 250-275°F according to manufacturer’s instructions. Cook meatballs for about 60 minutes, or until they reach 165°F internal temperature on a meat thermometer.

  3. Step 3

    While the meatballs are smoking, prepare the BBQ glaze. Whisk together brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, Sriracha, and vinegar until the brown sugar is dissolved. Half will be used to glaze the meatballs and the other half will be reserved for dipping.

  4. Step 4

    With about 15 minutes of cook time remaining, glaze the meatballs with BBQ glaze. Allow the meatballs to continue cooking for 10 minutes. Glaze again. Remove the meatballs from the smoker when they reach 165°F internal temperature on a meat thermometer, and allow them to cool slightly before serving with the remaining BBQ glaze.
