There's a recipe here somewhere for buffalo chicken meatballs I tried a few times. Try the search function. They were amazing. 

It's hard to beat a smoked meatball - either with spaghetti, or as an appeteaser.

I have no recipe - sorry.  I'll use ground beef mixed with pork, veal, or even chorizo depending on the application.  Nothing leaner than 80/20

For seasoning, I'll use Worcestershire, sirracho, SPG, onion flakes etc - It's definitely a "by feel" type of thing - dependent on what they will be used for.

Since they cook so quickly, I use mesquite to get some good smoke - this is my preference - plenty of people hate mesquite.   

Also this. Last night ground turkey with diced bacon and romano cheese meatballs topped with Swiss cheese.

Anyone have a meatball recipe they could share? I had some at a baseball tailgate recently and was looking to try some of my own. 

Brother it's ironic that you asked this today. I'm getting ready to make that very thing. I have the meat thawing as we speak. If you have access to venison and Russian boar, I can tell you how to make meatballs that will make your head spin like a hippies in a windstorm.  
If you like I will post the amounts and process if you are interested my friend.  

I just usually use my meatloaf recipe which is pretty close to what @Battleborn posted above.  I like do mine at 250 to 275 indirect till they are done or you can go direct and get them done faster.  By the way @joeybrown105, if you have not tried meatloaf on the egg yet I highly recommend it. 

I really like this recipe. It uses only beef, and they cook in the oven. It's from an old episode of bobby flay throwdown.

@blind99, thanks for posting this!! These meatballs were OUTSTANDING!! I didn't even bother with any pasta, just meatballs and sauce, The recipe made about 30 meatballs so I have lots left! I noticed that the only real difference between Maroni's sauce and the Lidia Bastianich recipe (that I really love) is that Maroni's has onion in it. Since I already had Lidia's in the freezer, I went with that. What a great meal!

no shame intended, just that your statement sounded a little like someone extolling the virtues of the McRib for its tastiness & ability to be effortlessly  pulled from a bag
