Smoked Meatloaf Recipe​

Ingredients​

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup onion, diced
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
• 3 tablespoons meatloaf seasoning
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• ½ cup BBQ sauce

Instructions​

1. Preheat the Smoker
   • Set the smoker to 225°F.
2. Prepare the Aromatics
   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Sauté the onions for 4-5 minutes.
   • Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
   • Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Combine Ingredients
   • In a large bowl, combine ground pork, ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, meatloaf seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce.
   • Add the cooked onions and garlic. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to prevent the meatloaf from becoming tough.
4. Shape the Meatloaf
   • Form the mixture into a loaf shape.
   • Place the meatloaf on a grill-safe pan, wire rack, or a piece of heavy-duty foil folded in half for extra strength.
5. Smoke the Meatloaf
   • Place the meatloaf in the preheated smoker.
   • Smoke for 30 minutes.
6. Glaze the Meatloaf
   • After 30 minutes, brush ¼ cup of BBQ sauce over the top and sides of the meatloaf.
   • Continue smoking for an additional 1 ½ hours.
7. Monitor the Temperature
   • Begin checking the internal temperature of the meatloaf after 2 hours of smoking.
   • Check every 15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Total smoking time should be between 2 ½ to 3 hours.
8. Finish and Rest
   • Once the meatloaf reaches 160°F, remove it from the smoker.
   • Brush with the remaining ¼ cup of BBQ sauce.
   • Allow the meatloaf to rest for at least 15 minutes to prevent it from crumbling when sliced.
9. Serve
   • Cut the meatloaf into 8 slices and serve.
