Place chopped veggies in mixing bowl

Pour a glass of chianti and enjoy :)

If you don't have breadcrumbs just chop up some bread...doesn't matter which type

Add breadcrumbs, eggs, and meat in bowl and mix well.

Et voila! Remove from smoker and let stand 5-10 minutes. Enjoy a savory dish that works brand new and as leftovers
