You can’t throw a proper tailgate without ice cold drinks and fired-up food. For me, that means enjoying Twisted Tea and firing up the grill to make Twisted Tea chipotle bacon-wrapped meatballs.
Cut each strip of bacon into thirds. Wrap each meatball with a piece of bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Refrigerate.
Heat the sauce ingredients over medium-high heat for 10 minutes to thicken. Save in a sealable container.
Tailgate Time
Heat the grill to medium-high with an indirect heat zone. Grill for about 30 minutes or until the bacon has crisped up.
When the meatballs are cooked through, dunk them in the sauce and place them back on the grill for 10-15.
Notes
Adobo sauce is the sauce that comes in a can of chipotle peppers. It can be found in the Hispanic food section of your grocery. Spoon out the sauce, and save the chipotles for another recipe.
