    They are meatballs wrapped in bacon and then dunked in bbq sauce.

    Moo-oink ;)
  • ROFL - LMAO! That is funny! :woohoo:
  • I would try cooking them somewhere between the "wrap in bacon" part and the "dunk in bbq sauce" part. ;)

    Just giving you a hard time, is all. :whistle:
  • For what it's worth, my response was going to be:
    take a ball of moo, wrap in oink, cook, dip in bbq sauce, eat.
    Must be feeling punchy today.

    Dig-it :laugh:

    A buddy of mine wondered why the bacon was soo chewy in a dish I had givin him a recipe for. :laugh: The Dillweed didn't cook it before adding it to a big pot of goodness (like a stew) :whistle:

    He sure felt like a clown. :silly:

    This shyould help!

    Beef, Moink Balls, Rick Tropical Delight

    From trp1fox in rocklin, ca, i give you moinkballs! thawed frozen meatball wrapped in bacon and dusted with dry rub then smoked till the bacon is done to your liking then dunked in thinned bbq sauce then smoked some more to set the sauce then served in a bed of the sauce.


    INGREDIENTS:



    NOTE:
    1 To be a true moinkball, it has to be an all beef italian meatball, similar to what you can get at sam's. i used dizzy pig jamaican firewalk on these and smoked them with jack daniels oak barrel chips and used jack daniels original bbq sauce thinned with water.
    2 Please note if you do not use premade frozen italian meatballs such as from sam's, then you are not making MOINK balls, you are making bacon wrapped meatballs.

    From the "other forum":

    OFFICIAL MOINK Ball Rules:

    IMPORTANT RULE CHANGE:

    After careful consideration by the Governing Board of IMBAS the following rule change as been adopted, effective immediately.

    1. MOINK Balls will be made with ALL BEEF meatballs, wrapped in PORK bacon. Seasonings, sauces and glazes are encouraged but not mandatory. In the past MOINK Balls were only made with pre-made, store bought meatballs. Due to the international appeal of MOINK Balls and the lack of availability, in some localities, of store bought pre-made meatballs, HOMEMADE meatballs will now be acceptable provided the meatballs are made with no other meat other than BEEF. The standard binding agents are approved. Keep in mind the beauty of MOINK Balls is simplicity. Don't get too fancy on the binders/fillers. (This rule change will forever be known as the NOSKOS Rule)

    2. MOINK Balls must be cooked out of doors using a wood or charcoal fire. Balls cooked indoors or using a fuel source other than wood or charcoal can not be considered for certification. It is important to note that pellets that are made of wood are acceptable as a fuel source for MOINK Balls.

    3. The use of the term MOINK Balls requires the proper capitalization. Failure to capitalize MOINK Ball will result in your application being denied.
