Instructions
- In a large bowl mix ground pork, ground beef, eggs, Italian bread crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, fennel, and crushed red pepper flakes together.
- Form golf ball sized meatballs and place them on your smoker at 350°F for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F internal.
- Heat up a jar of marinara on medium low heat in a pan and place meatballs in. Stir them around to make sure sauce is coating the entire meatball. Let them simmer for another 30 minutes.
