Instructions
Prep the smoker:
Prep the pellet smoker for 375F.
Prep the meatballs:
Swirl the oil in the bottom of a 10” cast iron skillet to coat.
Place the frozen meatballs in the skillet in a single layer.
Season with GirlCarnivore Over an easy spice blend.
Pour the marinara sauce on top.
Smoke the meatballs
Place the cast iron skillet on the grill grates of the preheated smoker.
Close the lid and smoke.
Cook the meatballs for about 45 minutes, or until heated through, flipping the meatballs twice during the cook time for even browning.
If using previously cooked frozen meatballs, make sure the meatballs are heated through.
If using fresh homemade pork meatballs, beef or turkey meatballs, make sure the ground meat has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
Rest and Serve
Carefully remove the skillet from the grill and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Spoon into a serving bowl, or serve directly from the skillet.
Garnish with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and minced parsley.
Notes
If using a pellet smoker, consider adding a smoker box filled with wood chips or a wood chunk to the grill grates to infuse more smoke flavor.We love hickory wood for this cook.Served these meatballs with burrata cheese nestled into the center for a fun appetizer. You can serve with a serving spoon or individual toothpicks.
