Grilling with Jeff: Jalapeño Meatballs by Jeff Karas, Engineering Electrician OK kids, how do cheese stuffed jalapeño meatballs sound? Yeah, my mouth is watering too. Ingredients: 1/2# ground beef
1/2# breakfast sausage (use hot if you like it spicy) 1 cup diced jalapeños (3 to 4 large should do it) 1/2 cup cheddar cheese 2 TBS of rub (I use a mix of Cajun and burger or steak rub) 4 oz cream cheese, Barbecue sauce if you like Directions:
Clean and dice jalapeños, add ground beef, ground sausage, jalapeños, rub, and cheddar to the bowl. Mix with your hands but do not over mix. Make about 1” meatballs then flatten out to stuff with about 1/4” of cream cheese. Wrap the meatball around the cream cheese and roll around in your hand to give a uniform round shape.Make all the meatballs. Get your cooker up to 225-240 degrees. If you have a smoker with a water pan, I recommend using it. They will take about 2 hours in a smoker, probably less time on a grill. I recommend using a Bradley rack or even a cooling rack, it makes it a lot easier to put in smoker. If you don’t have one you can try grilling them with indirect heat. When done they should be 160 degrees in the center. If you would like to sauce them, try checking at 1 ½ hours and sauce if almost done. If you want to cook them in the oven, cook at 350 degrees and check at 45 minutes. The holidays will be over by the time this goes to print, but Super Bowl is just around the corner and would make great appetizers to go with the hot wings and beer. Side Note: These meatballs would go great with spaghetti! Just eliminate the BBQ sauce, and add marinara sauce instead. Enjoy and good luck.
With the weather being much warmer than usual for a November turkey distribution, it was a little hard to think that Thanksgiving was just a few days away. But Crest Foods still gave out the turkey, stuffing mix and in- stant potato mix to each employee. In total over 750 turkeys with fixin’s was distributed. Thank you to Mitch Karlin of Karlin Foods for the dona- tion of stuffing mix and instant potato mix! (left) Gaven Meiners & Jeremy Butts
