Delicious Grilled Meatballs


I have to admit, these were a huge failure when it came to sticking together on the grill (we definitely lost a few). I ended up having to bake them in the oven. But, with a little practice, I feel like they will stick together eventually. They are delicious! Probably would make a good meatloaf, too. I hope you enjoy!
  • 4 pork and herb sausages (I used pork and garlic)
  • 1/2 cup fresh ground beef
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh white breadcrumbs
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp chopped mixed fresh herbs (parsley, sage, thyme, etc.)
  • 1 egg
  • salt and pepper
  • corn oil, for brushing
  1. Preheat grill. Remove sausage from skins. Place in large bowl and break up with a fork. Add the ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, herbs, and egg. Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir well with a wooden spoon until thoroughly mixed.
  2. Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, between the palms of your hands. Spear each one with a toothpick and brush with oil.
  3. Cook over medium hot coals, turning frequently and brushing with more oil as necessary, for 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
