It's hard to beat a smoked meatloaf sandwich for lunch. Of course, the only way that is ever going to happen is if you make up a big enough batch to have leftovers!
....and smoked meatloaf with potatoes makes for a pretty incredible breakfast as well :) |
I don't have a standard meatloaf recipe...I am more of a "seat of my pants" and "whatever is in the pantry" kind of guy.
For this batch I used:
If I had planned better I definitely would have ground my own meat for this. Grinding your own meat is really easy and you will know exactly what is going into your meatloaf.
If you don't have a meat grinder then you can pick one up for not much money. Here is a review of the best meat grinders that my buddy put together.
Mix the meatloaf ingredients together and then form the loaves into small aluminum loaf pans. I poke holes in the bottom of the pan so the grease can drain out.
- 1 pound ground chuck
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1 cup caramelized onions
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tablespoons A1 steak sauce.

Smoke the meatloaf with indirect heat on a kettle grill for about an hour. After the meatloaf has taken up some smoke you can start painting the surface with your favorite bbq sauce. I used Sweet Baby Ray.
The meatloaf is done when it hits an internal temperature of 165 F when measured with a digital thermometer.

The meatloaf is delicious straight off the grill but slices much easier after it has cooled in the refrigerator for a couple hours.
