The Best Smoked Meatloaf

Step 1

In a small bowl, tear the sliced bread into small pieces and add the milk. Set aside for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add the ground beef, pork, bacon, eggs, and spices to a medium-sized bowl. Add the soaked bread and any leftover milk. Mix well without over-mixing.

Step 3

Form the meatloaf into a loaf and lift it carefully to the grill pan.

Step 4

Smoke the meatloaf at 180-F for 30 minutes, then turn up the heat to 350-F and smoke for an additional 40 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 130-F.

Step 5

When the meatloaf has reached 130-F, top it with about 1/2 of the sauce. Reserve the rest of the sauce for adding at the table.

Step 6

Continue to smoke at 350-F for an additional 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165-F.

Step 7

Let rest for 15 minutes then slice and serve.
