My Smoked Meat Loaf Recipe
My meat loaf recipe is to die for and I am going to share it with you here on the site.
About two years ago I decided to try a meat loaf on the smoker (my wife thought I was nuts).
I had her mix up the meat loaf recipe like she normally would with all of the onions and green bell peppers and ketchup and red pepper flakes and a couple of eggs to help the 80/20 beef stick together better and then formed it into a rectangular shape about 2 inches thick onto a square cookie sheet.
I fired up the smoker with some mesquite wood and placed the meat loaf on the grate with a digital meat thermometer stuck into the center of it so I would know when it reached its perfect temp without having to open the smoker.
I smoked it at around 250 degrees for probably 3 to 4 hours until the center registered 160 degrees.
Folks... that was the best meat loaf I had ever eaten and I have had my share of meat loaf!
I knew right then and there that this would be the meat loaf recipe my family would use for years to come... possibly for centuries to come.
If you want to try something a little different and blow everyone away then I recommend you give this a try.
I have listed a meat loaf recipe below that you can mix up and of course feel free to add, modify or take away ingredients as you see fit.
Simply form it onto a cookie sheet and smoke it like you would anything else with your favorite wood.
Good Luck and happy eating!
