smoking different pasta sauce

[BamsBBQ]

want to change your pasta/spaghetti sauce up a little bit?

smoke the meatballs the next time.

for these meatballs the ingredients are simple. lean ground beef,hot italian sausage and a little parmesan cheese.

smoke for a couple of hours with the wood of your choice and enjoy

the mixture

decided to throw in some little beef sausages to snack on later along with the meatballs

in the smoker

holding a very nice temp

OMG...I am so hungry now, those look great and I just can't wait to see everything in with sauce.

Dude, thou hast skills. Props to you. You raise the bar on food-domkind for all those who are lucky enough to know you. Respect.

This looks really good! Do you simmer in sauce afterward? I always do this with meatballs, and I imagine it would give the sauce a nice smoky flavor, and tame the smokiness of the meatballs a bit.

Nice one!!!

thanks everyone...

yes i always simmer the meatballs in sauce afterwards. since the smoke flavor will take over anything you cook, i prefer to use a mild wood such as apple,maple or cherry to smoke with on these occasions.

since the meatballs are in for such a short time in the smoker they really dont get an overpowering smoke flavor - it seems they get just enough

tomorrow i will post the sauce recipe as well as the final pics of what this sauce is going on.. right now its a highly guarded secret because i am entering a contest on another board and there are members of that board on here as well..lol

so they will have to wait until tomorrow as well..lol

The more I think about this, the more I like it. The smoky tomato sauce is what gets me... I can taste it! Sounds delish!! Smoked mozz anyone?? LOL, okay probably too much smoke....

[The Hot Pepper]

do you smoke it yourself?

its quite easy...using your existing grill or bbq

take a new soldering iron, a tin can, sure you can figure out the rest..lol

 

[The Hot Pepper]

No I usually buy locally smoked mozz here.

Please post the best way to smoke it in a new thread if you can (offset smoker). I'd like to try.

this tastes as good as it looks. it has a very mild smokey flavor in the sauce,tender meatballs...each ingredient compliments the other..

Wow. When I seen the smoked meatballs I thought give me a fork and get out of the way. Looking at the final product I've changed my mind. Give me a big spoon and get out of the way. You are the grill/smoker master Bam.

Now, about that smoked cheese thing you were mentioning I'm afraid I didn't get the soldering iron/tin can hints. Little help? Please?

Never mind--found it.
