I have yet to find a "decent" frozen meatball. They ALL seem to have soy listed as one of the main or key ingredients.

"Store bought" and "good" should not be in the same sentence as "meatball"; not together, at least.
I will pay top dollar for a good meatball without any soy listed on the side panel. I should not have to make my own meatballs in 2014!…… They use soy as its a cheap way to add protein (aka meat substitute). The end product taste pretty gross and you get a free side order of gas!

LMAO, ok Mike I deserve that. I would love a good recipe for meatballs that was basic. I don't mind baking but I am far from gourmet like you dishes Mike. Now that summer is here I look forward to seeing pictures of some of your grilling dishes.

Wow a photographer and a good cook
Yeah, my mouth started watering at that burger and corn, and I just finished dinner! 
LOL, I am going to try and fire up the smoker pit this weekend. Some ribs and a pork butt. The weather is not wanting to cooperate, supposed to rain most of the weekend but we will take it as we are in a horrible drought still.
May have to put an umbrella over the BBQ pit. Would not be the first time!

Tonight we are have watermelon ribs, corn on the cob, potatoes, and strawberry crumble. I saw something on TV this week where the anchors were talking about their favorite hometown foods. The ribs recipe came from a place called Loveless BBQ near Vanderbilt. They smell like heaven.
Smoked Meats!
I break out the smoker pit at least 2-3 times a year. Memorial Day is one of them. Pork Butt and a couple of slabs of Baby Backs! We had a cool and rainy day but I was able to keep the fire perfect at 225F for a nice low and slow BBQ day!

Here is what I do. I fond them rather tasty. any suggestions for improvement are always welcome.
3 pounds of meatloaf meat (equal portions ground pork, beef, and Veal)
3 eggs
1 small red bell pepper (finely chopped)
1 small onion (finely chopped)
3 large cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
1/2 cup of red wine
1/4 cup of parmesan cheese
1/4 cup of bread crumbs
1 tablespoon of fennel seed
1 tablespoon of basil
1/2 tablespoon of thyme leaves
1/2 tablespoon of dried parsley
salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste
mix together and rest in fridge for 1 hour. form meatballs in 3 inch diameter balls (rather large) and place into roasting pan. Add a bottle of white wine to the bottom of the pan, cover with tin foil and bake at 275 for 3 or 4 hours. When ready, transfer meatballs into your sauce (leaving behind the fat and spent wine) and continue to cook until dinner time.
The long, slow cooking really make a difference (to me at least)

Did ribs, sausage, and brisket on Sunday.
Made potato salad, pasta salad, and also grilled some Texas toast.
- Here is the meat about to go on the grill after being brazed
- the brisket on the grill It went on first because it takes longer.
- The brisket piled on top of baby back ribs and a vie of the sausage. All getting nice smoke and developing that nice glaze.

Here you go!
Grandma Josie Maceo’s Meat Balls and Gravy (actually was her mother's recipe, my great grandma, I'm 60, do the math)
Meat Ball Mixture: 1 pound ground meat 2 green onions, chopped, I tablespoon Tex Joy parsley flakes,
1 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 2 eggs beaten, 1 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated, Olive oil for frying.
Gravy Mixture:
3 1/4 cup onion chopped very fine, 6 tablespoons olive oil, 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce, 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste, 32 ounces hot water, 3 tablespoons sugar, I teaspoon TexJoy sweet basil, 1 teaspoon TexJoy oregano, 2 teaspoons salt, I teaspoon TexJoy black pepper 1 1/2 teaspoon TexJoy garlic powder.
Gravy: Saute onion in oil until it looks transparent. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, sugar, sweet basil, oregano, salt, black pep¬per and garlic powder and cook over medium low heat, uncovered, stir¬ring occasionally for 1 hour.
Meatballs: Combine meat ball ingredients together and form into balls. Pan fry meat balls in oil until brown on both sides; drop into gravy mixture at low temperature for 1- 1/2 hours uncovered.

TexJoy refers to the coffee and spice company we owned since 1923, Texas Coffee Company.

I like your blue Weber, John. Looks like a Performer. I have one in lime green.
Grub looks delish.

Are you missing a comma, or is this a recipe that is as wonderful as it sounds?
