M'Oinkballs
Olde Hippee
die for eating. You buy frozen meatballs, thaw, and wrap 1/3 slice of
bacon around them and secure with toothpic. Then you cook them in a
pan on the grill @ 200 degrees for 1 + hours, went 15 min over before
DH decided they were perfect. And perfect they are. The bacon is
crispy and the meatballs are hot. This is truly a Nirvana dish. The
pics looked like some of them had rub on them, we'll be trying that
next time on some.
And y'all have probably heard of this before. We just tried it NYD. It
will become part of our repetoire, esp for NASCAR weekends. Go Piggy,
you can improve almost anything. Yay Pig!!

Why would anyone buy frozen meatballs? They gave out samples at the store
one day and they are horrid things. Why not make meatballs yourself and do
the bacon thing?

Frozen meatballs are what you get at the free lunch at Costco. That, and the
frozen mystery pizza globs.
The concept sounds good though, and I'm tired of the little smokies wrapped
in bacon and rolled in brown sugar.
It occurs to me that a lot of the frozen prepared meats could be made a
whole lot better by just vac packing them. That stuff is almost always
freezer burned. Except Costco's Kirkland brand. They make the blandest foods
on the planet... even the prepared meals they sell which aren't frozen. It's
kinda like anti-matter, I think they use anti-seasoning.
Ed's got a point though, meatballs are easy enough to make that it would be
worth working from scratch. If the recipe calls for putting them on the
grill still frozen then you could always stuff them in the freezer long
enough to get them stiffened up.

Our local Generic brand grocery store meatballs are just fine and
_never_ freezer burned.

We like to think of going to Costco as "Having Lunch at the
Club." It sounds a lot more high-falootin' when I try to
impress the neighbors. <grin>

The HEB ones I posted are not so bad either. ;-d

I do make my own meatballs for spaghetti, the store version is too
salty the next day for my taste, but there were none made. The frozen
ones were convenient to try them with. I will probably make and
freeze a whole batch just to use as M'Oinkballs. Can't believe y'all
went off on the meatballs.
