Ingredients

The following ingredients have 20 Servings
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup basil (chopped)
  • 1 egg (scrambled)
  • 3 tablespoons onions (diced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup Kingsford® Original Smoked Hickory BBQ Sauce & Dry Rub
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella
  • 20 3- inch wooden skewers

Instruction

  • Build a charcoal fire for indirect cooking using Kingsford® Charcoal by situating the coals on only one side of the grill, leaving the other side void. Preheat the grill to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, basil, egg, onion and salt, and mix well. Form about 20 meatballs using 2 tablespoons of the beef mix per meatball. Season the meatballs generously with Kingsford® Original Smoked Hickory BBQ Sauce & Dry Rub and place the meatballs on the grill and close the lid. Cook the meatballs for 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Using a meat thermometerwill ensure proper cooking.
  • While the meatballs cook, place a ball of mozzarella (1 teaspoon each) around each wooden skewer 1-inch from the end. Insert each mozzarella skewer into the top of each meatball. Close the grill lid and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until the cheese melts. Remove from the grill and serve.
