Smoked Stuffed Meatloaf Recipes

SMOKED STUFFED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Mix all meatloaf ingredients in a bowl. Blend the mixture about 4-5 minutes.
• Spread mixture flat on saran wrap. Top meat mixture with brown sugar, shredded cheese, and 1 cup ketchup (in that order), spreading evenly over meat. Roll up loaf using saran wrap to form. Twist ends of saran wrap and place in freezer for approximately 1 hour to firm up.
• Prepare smoke pouch with 1 handful of wet mesquite chips and 2 handfuls of dry chips using aluminum foil. Poke several holes in the pouch with a fork so smoke can escape. Light one side of grill to high, leaving other side off. Place smoke pouch on hot side of grill, and wait for pouch to start smoking. Once pouch is smoking, place meatloaf on grill. Smoke until loaf registers 160 deg. in middle (approx 3 hours). Cover with remaining 1/2 cup of ketchup during last 30 minutes of cook time.
• Remove from grill and allow to rest 15-20 minutes. Slice and serve.

SMOKED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Place the ground beef in a large bowl, along with two cloves of minced garlic, the bbq rub, Worcestershire, breadcrumbs and egg. Mix the half and half with the lemon juice, and then pour that in, followed by the 8 ounces of shredded cheese.
• Keep the cheese grater out, and after removing the outer layers of the onion, grate the onion into the mixture too. Sure you can just dice the onion, but grating it adds moisture and eliminates the need to cook the onion prior.
• With your hands, gently work the ingredients together until everything is combined. It's gonna be messy and you're going to feel like the mixture is too wet. It's not.
• Dump the mixture out onto a large sheet of parchment paper, and then form a loaf with your hands. Use the parchment paper to help. Once the loaf is made, carefully roll the loaf onto a grill rack that is set on top of a cookie sheet lined with foil. Place in the refrigerator to chill.
• After the meatloaf has chilled for 30 minutes turn your smoker on and get it ready to cook at 225 degrees.
• Remove the meatloaf from the refrigerator and sprinkle the outside with more of your favorite bbq rub. I used Blackened Saskatchewan for the inside, and Beef Rub for the outside.
• When the smoker gets up to temp place the meatloaf inside. Let it smoke for 4-5 hours. The meatloaf is done when the internal temp hits 160 degrees
• About 15 minutes before the meatloaf is ready, brush on some bbq sauce to the exterior of the loaf. This will add to the flavor profile of the loaf, and bring home a winning end result.

ALL JACK'D UP STUFFED SMOKED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F, using a blend of hickory and apple wood chips.
• In a large mixing bowl add the beef, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, eggs, Worcestershire, whiskey, steak seasoning, and milk.
• Using your hands, mix all of the ingredients just until evenly combined.
• In the bottom of a small, shallow metal pan- spread out half of the meat mixture. Use your fingers to create a shallow well in the center. Add the pepper jack cheese to the well, leaving about an inch of meat on all sides.
• Top with the remaining meatloaf mixture. Gently squish everything together to form a loaf, and use your fingers to securely seal up any holes so that the cheese doesn't leak out during cooking.
• Stir together the sauce ingredients. Spoon the sauce evenly out over the meatloaf. Letting it drip down the sides a bit is a plus.
• Transfer the meatloaf to the smoker, close and seal it and smoke for 4 hours- or until the internal temp reads 165 degrees F.
• Remove the meatloaf from the smoker. Let it rest for five minutes. Slice and serve with your desired sides.
