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
- Preheat the Smoker
- Set the smoker to 225°F.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Smoke the Meatloaf
- Place the meatloaf in the preheated smoker.
- Smoke for 30 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve
- Cut the meatloaf into 8 slices and serve.
