Meatball Grill Basket~really smokes your balls

[DrakeMaiden]

Hee hee, I don't need a recipe to smoke some balls. J/K

The recipe sounds good though. That would make a nice sub with some roasted bell peppers on it.

That sounds yummy!! With the smoked gouda too!

 

[DrakeMaiden]

Yep, that would make it extra gouda!

I dare you Dace!! (It is much better than announcing "Schwetty Balls"! Anyone ever see that S -n- L skit??)

Ending our Friday on a funny note....priceless!

Agreed.

Dace, I guess it depends upon who you are inviting to dinner, and how much you want to fool with them.

 

[Dace]

Hmm...we are having guests for dinner tomorrow and YES smokey balls are much better than schwetty balls!
