Smoked Chipotle Meatballs & Spaghetti

[robert-r]

We had to have our Smoked Chipotle Meatball fix. It had been a while.

Coarse ground some pork butt, hand chopped some bacon, mint leaves, & minced garlic.
Mixed with 2 eggs, bread crumbs & formed the meatballs.

Smoked/browned in the XL for 15 minutes. Weber briquettes for heat & mesquite for smoke. Temps around 400*

Made the sauce while the meatballs were doing there thing.
Fire roasted diced tomatoes, several chipotles, some adobo, Mexican oregano, garlic & chicken broth:

Browned meatballs:

Hot tub, everyone!

Got the spaghetti going.

The sauce thicked up nicely & moved the hot tub to the cool side of the grill to simmer a bit more.

Noodles are ready. We like al dente.

plated and sprinkled with a little Cotija cheese. Time To Eat!!!
