Beef Meatballs Wrapped in Bacon (MOINKs)

I did a Google search today for bbq wrapped with bacon and discovered some pictures for MOINKs aka beef meatballs wrapped in bacon. MOINK stands for "MOO" and "OINK" (beef and pork).

I didn't follow any particular recipe, but here's a summary of how I made the tasty bbq treats.

Meatballs Wrapped in Bacon

• 1 lb ground sirloin
• 12 slices of bacon
• 4 tablespoons of bbq rub
• 3 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
• 1 egg

Directions:

• Place the ground sirloin in a medium sized-bowl.
• Add the breadcrumbs, bbq rub and one well-beaten egg.
• Mix it together for 5 minutes by hand.
• Form into meatballs roughly 1 3/4 inches in diameter.
• Wrap them with bacon and secure with a toothpick.
• Pre-heat grill to 350 degrees.
• Grill the beef wrapped in bacon using indirect heat for 1 hour and check for doneness.
• Cook until finished and sauce with your favorite bbq sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
