That's up to you. If you use frozen meatballs, they are likely precooked, so that is not a lot different from frying up first, except that the frozen ones are a lot colder when you start. You want to cook them until the bacon is to your desired level of crispness. So the meatball can actually get overcooked, but since it's wrapped in bacon, nobody cares.
No need to fry them. Just roll them up into balls, wrap with bacon (I prefer using thin cut bacon) and secure with a toothpick, apply rub if desired, then put them in the cooker until the bacon is crispy. Apply sauce about 15 to 20 minutes before you pull them off if you want to sauce them. An easy way to sauce them is putting the sauce in a bowl, and adding some (or all depending on bowl size) of the MOINKs to the bowl to cover, or dip one at a time holding by the toothpick.
Is that PORK rib fat or BEEF rib fat in your meat concoction?
Just wondering...
Pork rib fat, why?
MOINK balls, to be MOINK balls, must be beef meatballs, wrapped in bacon (I use the lower sodium version and a half slice per ball), rubbed, than smoked or grilled. Glaze is optional. I figure my rubs have enough sodium, as do the premade meatballs, so I cut it in the bacon as much as possible.
While I am sure your dish was great, they can't be considered MOINK balls, and you may have caused Larry (BBQ Grail), the inventor of MOINK balls to have a heart attack
Wait... the meatballs are made from ground beef chop meat. I used pork fat and beef broth to make the liquid that the moink balls are cooking in. I am going to take them out of the liquid and place them on the cooker in a little while to let them crisp up.
Are you saying that because I added some pork fat to beef broth and added that to the cooking pan that these aren't moink balls?
Hmmmm....
This is a new one. The Board of Directors of the International MOINK Ball Appreciation Society will have to take this one under advisemnt. A ruling will be forthcoming...
