Smoked Meatloaf
Smoked Meatloaf is quick to assemble and cooks in the same time as in the oven but with incredible smoke flavor.
Ingredients
For the meatloaf
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 2 cups (heaping) dry crushed herbed stuffing such as Pepperidge Farm
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- ½ cup milk
- 1 Tbsp chopped garlic
- 1 Tbsp dried minced onion
- 1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp barbecue seasoning of choice
For topping
- ¼ cup barbecue sauce
- ¼ cup crispy fried onions
Instructions
- Prepare smoker to cook with indirect heat at 350℉ according to the instructions for your smoker. (Note if using a Big Green Egg, this includes using the plate setter under the grill grate.)
- In a large mixing bowl, lightly toss together all the ingredients for the meatloaf. Using your hands works best to avoid over-mixing as this leads to a denser loaf.
- Form the loaf in a grill-proof pan or loaf pan. Using glass or Pyrex is not recommended.
- Place the meatloaf pan on the grate in the smoker. Add the wood accordingly for the type of smoker (I recommend using applewood). Maintain temperature at 350℉ for 1 hour.
- Meatloaf is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 155℉-160℉.
- Drizzle meatloaf with barbecue sauce and top with crispy onions. Slice and serve.
