80 --- Thai Barbecue Elk Meatballs

So... I FORGOT to take a picture of these meatballs! But, they were so good I need to post this recipe anyways. They look like what you think they look like. Yummy barbecue meatballs.

Another adventure with elk! The best part about elk meatballs is the leanness. They do not turn out greasy at all! I used my Spicy BBQ Sauce, but you could use your own if you desire.
