"Moinks" Revealed

A few days ago, I found 2 references on this forum to "Moinks." There weren't any recipes (perhaps everyone but me knows what they are), so I went searching, and I found some pictures and details on other sites that caused me to try them today.

I made 3/4 oz. meat balls out of Italian sausage (some use frozen Italian meatballs from the grocery, or hamburger with whatever sounds good mixed in--minced onion, chipoltes in adobo, etc.). I stuffed a 3/8 inch cube of mozzarella into the middle, and wrapped each meatball with 1/4 piece of bacon (one whole piece cut in half across and length-wise). I shook on some CookShack pork rub, and put them in the 009 at 225* for 2 hours (my smoker runs a bit cool--your mileage may vary).

Definitely a keeper.
