2 lbs. ground beef
1/3 cup crushed pork rinds
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
1 T. The W Sauce Fireshire*
2 T. whiskey
1 T. Wild Willy’s Seasoning**
2 eggs, whisked
Fresh mozzarella pearls (or cut to size)
Mix all ingredients with the beef. Make small flat pieces of burger in your palm. Place fresh mozzarella in center and wrap burger around to form a small ball. Place on pan or rack for cooking.
“Give ’em a little smoke” (about 1 hour at 150 to 180 degrees), then cook at 225 degrees until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Finish with light dusting of Wild Willy’s Seasoning. Skewer with sticks and serve.
*This is a thicker Worcestershire sauce often used in competition barbecue. We purchased it locally at Scheels. You could also substitute regular Worcestershire sauce.
**Any of Wild Willy’s Seasonings work: GSP, GSP Fuego, Rub, Rib Rub, Game Changer or The Bloody!
