Using a mix of ground meats, such as beef and pork, creates a richer, more tender bite. Champion pitmaster Christie Vanover of <a href=\"https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/\">Girls Can Grill<\/a> recommends 80\/20 beef, which means it\u2019s 80 percent meat and 20 percent fat.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of eggs, she uses milk and breadcrumbs as a binder because combined they create a tender, moist meatball.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"flavors-that-score-big\">Flavors That Score Big<\/h2>\n<p>Once you have the foundational meat blend, Vanover suggests playing around with dried and fresh herbs and spices to make meatballs in a variety of flavors.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Traditional BBQ Meatballs:<\/strong> Use <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.girlscangrill.com\/products\/pork-rub\" target=\"_blank\">Girls Can Grill Pork Rub<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.girlscangrill.com\/products\/brisket-rub\" target=\"_blank\">Brisket Rub<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Latin Meatballs:<\/strong> Use taco seasoning or cumin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Asian Meatballs:<\/strong> Mix in fresh garlic, ginger and soy sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Italian Meatballs:<\/strong> Use Italian seasoning, fresh parsley, garlic and parmesan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Before throwing them on the grill, pinch off a piece and cook it in a skillet on the stove to make sure the flavors are just right. If not, add a bit more seasoning.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to step outside of the box even further, consider making <a href=\"https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/recipe\/cheese-stuffed-meatballs\/\">cheese-stuffed meatballs<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/recipe\/seafood\/grilled-shrimp-meatballs\/\">shrimp meatballs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture><source data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shrimp-meatball-hero.webp 1200w,https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shrimp-meatball-hero-200x300.webp 200w,https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shrimp-meatball-hero-1022x1536.webp 1022w,https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shrimp-meatball-hero-400x601.webp 400w,https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shrimp-meatball-hero-150x226.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" height=\"1804\" width=\"1200\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shrimp-meatball-hero.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shrimp-meatball-hero-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shrimp-meatball-hero-1022x1536.jpg 1022w, https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shrimp-meatball-hero-400x601.jpg 400w, https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shrimp-meatball-hero-150x226.jpg 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" class=\"wp-image-42682 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Platter of shrimp meatballs.\" decoding=\"async\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shrimp-meatball-hero.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shrimp-meatball-hero.jpg\" height=\"1804\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shrimp-meatball-hero.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shrimp-meatball-hero-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shrimp-meatball-hero-1022x1536.jpg 1022w, https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shrimp-meatball-hero-400x601.jpg 400w, https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shrimp-meatball-hero-150x226.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" class=\"wp-image-42682 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Platter of shrimp meatballs.\" decoding=\"async\"\/> <\/source><\/picture><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cooking-methods-for-juicier-results\">Cooking Methods for Juicier Results<\/h2>\n<p>Before adding your meatballs to the grill, Vanover highly recommends you refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>When mixing the meat and rolling it into balls, the heat from your hands will cause the fats to melt. Then, when they hit the grill, the fat will escape quickly.<\/p>\n<p>By chilling the meatballs, the fat will solidify. So, when they\u2019re grilled, that fat is more likely to stay in the meatballs, creating a juicier bite. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Vanover grills her meatballs over indirect heat at about 300F degrees. This allows them to cook evenly inside and out. It will take 45-60 minutes for them to reach an internal temperature of 165F degrees.<\/p>\n<p>During the last 15-30 minutes you can baste them with barbecue sauce or another sauce to complement the seasonings added.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"game-day-serving-tips\">Game Day Serving Tips<\/h2>\n<p>Save time by mixing and forming your meatballs 1-2 days ahead of time. Keep them refrigerated until you\u2019re ready to throw them on the grill.<\/p>\n<p>Once your meatballs are grilled up, transfer them to a platter, sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs and serve with fun toothpicks and dipping sauce. If you made several flavors, consider adding small signs in front of the platters, so guests know what to expect.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re hosting a big game day bash or just looking for a reliable party snack, juicy, flavorful meatballs are the ultimate playmaker. Master these simple techniques, and you\u2019ll have guests cheering for more.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more meatballs hacks in the latest episode of the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/xjxCjkhkZoU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BBQ Tips Podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>Tune into more of my <a href=\"https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/category\/bbq-tips-podcast\/\">BBQ Tips podcasts<\/a> or scroll around the website for even more helpful <a href=\"https:\/\/girlscangrill.com\/category\/bbq-tips\/\">BBQ Tips<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"rocketlazyloadscript\">\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1905242426455739');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Game day isn\u2019t complete without a platter of juicy, flavor-packed meatballs, but not all meatballs are created equal.
