Monkey Balls

Firetruck

I know I know they're called "moink balls" however, I changed the recipe cause my family don't really like spicy stuff. I was inspired by a post a few days ago and man those things looked so good...I had a taste for what I thought would be good; and man were they ever. The family has declared this to be one of the best thing off the egg yet. They were also raving over the roasted garlic smushed taters.

Morning JoJo:

Those do look tasty. What were the changes you made in the recipe?

I will be doing some of the "Moinkballs" tomorrow for a potluck dinner we are going to in the evening. Mine are ground chuck with half of them rolled in Dizzy Pig Red Eye Express and the other half rolled in Dizzy Pig Cowlick. I will then use the BBQ sauce I make and hope everyone likes them. I'll post pics tomorrow after they are done.

stand by and I'll try to add the recipe. BTW I told the family we were having "Monkey Balls" and suprisingly they were ok with it. My son did say we really need to rename them. He just could not go to school and tell his friends what he had for supper.

Careful...Official Moink balls are premade store bought meatballs. Don't ask me why but that's the word on the street.
