Smoked Meatloaf Recipe

Step 1

Preheat your smoker to 220°F.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion put it in a pan on the stove over medium heat with the olive oil. Saute for 5-8 minutes, until the onion is softened and starting to brown a little.

Step 3

Let the onion cool for 10 minutes and mix it and all of the other loaf ingredients together, except the ground beef. Stir until well combined, and then add ground beef and mix until fully incorporated, but don't over-mix!

Step 4

Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it on a doubled-up piece of parchment paper or butcher paper.

Step 5

Place on the grill and smoke for 30 minutes. Turn up the heat at this point to 325°F and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 160°F, painting on some of the barbecue sauce every 10-15 minutes or so during the higher-temp portion of the cook.

Step 6

Let rest for 10 minutes and then cut into slices and serve with the extra barbecue sauce.
