A simple supper for tonight, simple to fix and fun cooking out on a nice 80 deg. fall day. I did this on my Traeger pellet smoker and Weber gas grill and cooked the pasta inside.
I got a pound of pork sausage from my butcher, added a Tbs. of Penzey’s Italian sausage mix and in the fridge for an hour. I then added an egg and 1/3 cup of Panko bread crumbs then in the fridge another hour. I then made the meatballs about a Tbs. each and ended up with 20; they went in the fridge about 2 hours until ready to smoke.
I smoked the meatballs at 195 deg. on my Traeger for an hour. 45 minute sin I heated a CI skillet on my Weber gas grill and browned the meatballs for 10 minutes stirring once. I added a jar of Newman’s Own fire roasted tomato and garlic sauce. I let it heat for 5 minutes then transferred to the pellet grill set at 200 to simmer while I cooked the pasta and toasted some garlic bread.
I had some nice crusty bread with some gorgonzola chive butter, a little dried garlic and some Penzey’s sandwich sprinkle I toasted under the broiler.
The wife and I both thought it was pretty good. We both had a simple Romaine salad on the side. I know some homemade sauce might have been better but I am getting older and shortcuts are getting to be welcome in my kitchen! At least I made up the meatballs myself!

We have our first cool rainy day here today (though it will be around 90 within a few days). That would sure make a nice lunch.

Nice job Don! That Newman's brand is good for store-bought. I like the Sock-arooni as it has some spunk. And lots of money has been raised by Paul Newman's company for children with needs!

Pam Penzey's is salt, fennel seed, Telicherry black pepper and sugar and I think it's pretty good. Don
