Smoked Meatloaf with a Kiss of Flavor

If you thought the classic comforting dinner food couldn’t get any better, think again! Cooking smoked meatloaf rather than baking it in the oven in a traditional loaf pan, this smoked meatloaf recipe lends a tasty grilled smoky flavor to the entire meatloaf. It’s quick to whip up and easier than you think to smoke! You can use either an aluminum grill pan or several sheets of aluminum foil as a sheet pan to start out the meatloaf. It’s the perfect way to get ready for summertime with a hearty entree out on the grill: Try a batch of mashed potatoes and some roasted or grilled vegetables, like a Savory Grilled Vegetable Salad to complete the meal!

That classic juicy meatloaf taste comes simply from the worcestershire-forward Brisket Mop BBQ Mud and fresh chopped white onion. A traditional binding blend of your favorite breadcrumbs and egg will ensure the loaf shape stays a loaf! And by using both direct and indirect heat, the loaf will have crispy edges and will be cooked all the way through. Just be sure to use a digital thermometer to check the internal temperature before removing the loaf and turning off the grill. A couple tablespoons of BBQ sauce smothered over the meatloaf while it’s still hot give it extra moisture and outside flavor!
