Lard's easy to come by down here in Texico. And I'm not just talking about the residents of San Antone!

You can take the boy out of the Midwest, but you can't take the Midwest out of the boy. Sausage cauliflower casserole.

Lol I wish it were easier to source up here. Have to use the brick kind. In any event it's super rainy today - Going to have pots of carnitas, beans, and rice pudding all on the stovetop

And THAT looks ridiculously good. Did you make them? If so, how'd they turn out?

I haven't made them, and it looks like I won't until next spring/summer.
I get near-daily emails from that website, SmokingMeats.com (or whatever it is).
Jeff Phillips smokes more different things than I previously could have imagined.

Cheese Stuffed Jalapeno Meatballs

Videos | SMF | Rub/Sauce Recipes | Bottled Products | Print

I figured some of you might be looking for a good appetizer to serve the guests while they wait on Thanksgiving dinner.. I have one that is perfect and can even be made ahead of time and reheated.
These smoked meatballs are made with lots of cheddar cheese and more jalapeno than you'd normally add to a meatball. As if that's not enough, they are stuffed with cream cheese. I wanted these to be small enough to pop in your mouth so as to get the full effect as you bite down into it.
Reminiscent of smoked jalapeno poppers known as ABT's, you will love the flavor that is packed into these babies!
Be thankful, be safe and God Bless!!

Making the Meatball Mixture

IMG_0300-250x167

Note: For a spicier meatball, use a hotter pepper and/or leave in some of the seeds. You can also add about a TBS of red pepper flakes to the mixture to crank it up a little.
Add the ground beef, ground sausage, jalapeños, Jeff's original rub (Purchase formula here | Purchase bottled rub) and cheddar to the bowl.
Combine the ingredients with your hands but do not over mix.

Stuff and Form
I chose to make the meatballs a little smaller than normal but you can make them any size you like.
Mine were about an inch in diameter after stuffing.
Take enough meat mixture into your hands to make a 1-inch meatball.
Roll it between your palms then flatten it out in your hands to stuff.
IMG_0332-250x167

Place a ¼ inch piece of cream cheese into the center of the flattened meatball.
IMG_0333-250x167

Wrap the meatball back around the cream cheese and roll in your palms again to give it a uniform round shape.
IMG_0335-250x167

Make all of the meatballs and lay them on a Bradley rack, Weber grill pan or other pan for easy transport to and from the smoker.
Using a Bradley rack makes it real easy but you can also just use a cooling rack, or even a cookie sheet if that's all you have available.
The recipe makes about 30 meatballs depending on what size you make them.

Looking good and ready for the smoker!

I've praised aldis beef ribs before, they are a sort of affordable mystery cut that I always use for chili. I braised them with a few cloves of garlic for a couple hours, then finished in a hot oven. Served with roasted sweet potatoes, broccoli, and some French bread. Good dinner!

beef ribs - always the right choice

I love those, but they are strangely hard to source up here. I don't really know why.
