Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, fresh herbs, smoked paprika, egg, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until combined.
- Take a golf-ball-sized portion of the meat mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center, fold the meat around it, and roll into a smooth ball.
- Preheat your smoker to a low temperature of 225°F (107°C).
- Carefully place the stuffed meatballs on the smoking rack and smoke for 30 to 40 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- For a crispy exterior, heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and sear the smoked meatballs for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Remove the meatballs from the skillet or smoker, let them rest briefly, and serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or marinara sauce.
