Craving some Italian food? Here's a different take on meatball parmesan. It's a relatively easy recipe that you'll just have to throw in your smoker for a few hours. Let us know if you try it!
Ingredients:
- 3lbs ground beef
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp Bearded Butcher Blend Seasoning Original

Recipe:
- Preheat smoker to 225 degrees – use a super smoke option if available.
- Combine ground beef, eggs, parmesan, bread crumbs, and our Original blend by hand in a large mixing bowl.

- Add 24 ounces marinara of your choice to a large cast iron skillet.
- Transfer meatballs to the skillet with marinara and place the skillet in smoker and increase the temperature to 250 degrees. Let meatballs simmer for 50 minutes.
