Wrap meatball inside onion, but the most mouthwatering part is yet to come

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, chopped parsley, diced onion, garlic, panko breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and barbecue sauce. Shape the mixture into small meatballs and set aside.
2. Cut the other 2 onions in half lengthwise, and peel all the layers apart. Cover every meatball with a couple of slices of the onion, adding more ground beef to larger pieces of onions as needed. Shape them with your hands so they are as round as possible. Wrap each onion-covered meatball with 2 to 3 slices of bacon, securing them with the help of toothpicks.
3. With your smoker set to full smoke, cook for 1 hour. Then set the smoker to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and cook for an additional 45 minutes.
Pro tip: Don't have a smoker? No problem! Alternatively, you can bake the meatballs in a baking pan at 425 F for approximately 40 minutes. Check with a meat thermometer for an internal temperature of 175 F, and your meatballs should be ready to be devoured!
Pro tip: Using the larger onion slices to wrap the meatballs makes the task easier.
