Creating your Homemade Smoked Stuffed Meatballs can be a fun and satisfying experience. Follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by preheating your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Gather all your ingredients for easy access.
2. Mix the Meat: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and pork. Mix in the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, onion, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
3. Form the Meatballs: Take a handful of the meat mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center and enclose the meat around it, forming a ball. Repeat this step until all the mixture is used.
4. Soak Wood Chips: If using a smoker, soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before placing them in the smoker.
5. Smoke the Meatballs: Place the stuffed meatballs on the rack of the smoker. Add the soaked wood chips to the smoker box or directly onto the coals. Close the lid and smoke the meatballs for about 2 hours or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
6. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meatballs are cooked through. The internal temperature is crucial for ensuring they are safe to eat.
7. Serve: Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the smoker and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Following these steps will guide you through creating delicious, smoky meatballs that everyone will love.
