    Smoked Meatloaf

    Anyone done one? We make meatloaf in the shop and sell it frozen. I’m slacking it out right now and want to smoke it tomorrow. It’s 2# total weight.

    Smoked meatloaf is great. Use your favorite recipe and smoke away. I do unstuffed peppers. That's just meatloaf with a ton of peppers and onions in it. I add minced garlic, and sometimes mushrooms too.

        Slacking out means letting it thaw overnight in the fridge.

      Here's a couple great ones, which you could modify for most any cooker:

      Kathryn's Bacon Covered Smoked Meatloaf on the PBC Makes three (3) 2lb 12 oz meatloaves (adapted from http://www.afeastfortheeyes.net/2011...-its-best.html


      What would improve a classic meatloaf recipe? How about a stuffing of velvety smooth cream cheese? And then a leisurely smoking session to pick up lots of smoke flavor? And for the crowning touch, a glaze of classic German Cumberland sauce made with red currant jam, port wine, mustard, ginger, and citrus. Wow!

        +1 on Kathryn's meatloaf recipe. I always start there and then vary from it based on my mood and what I have on hand. I highly recommend it.

      I smoke meatloaves 3 at a time and freeze what we don't eat right away. Whenever our kids come to visit, they scour the freezer for a smoked bacon-covered meatloaf to take back home with them.

      As expected, the family is partial to my smoked bacon-covered meatloaf recipe that Huskee posted the link to.

        I do these a lot. 1,000 ways to season it up. Can't really blow it. What I like to do is make a bunch of single serving sized loaves and freeze them for future use. Then I pull out whatever number I need to the number of people eating.

          I think the 2 lb. loaf the op mentioned is single serving sized.

        I smoke mine on a Frogmat or A wire rack with a drip pan under the grill grate. Works great. Smoke all around.

            Hmm, I buy it off the shelf in my super market. Many weeks at least.

            Nope, I buy it in a glass jar. Easy peasy. I just focus on the meatloaf and the wine/beer :-)

          A trick I like to do is line the meatloaf/bread pan with parchment paper. Get your meatloaf mixed up how you like it then press it into the pan. Put it in the fridge for a couple hours or 3 then you can easily plop it out onto a wire rack or frog mat and place it in the smoker. This way it keeps its shape though the entire cooking process.

            I smoke my bacon-covered meatloaves directly on pieces of parchment paper just large enough to fit under each loaf. That way the fat runs off into the coals, which flavors the meat even more. I use a super wide spatula like this one that Meathead recommended to get the cooked meatloaves off the grate.

                  It took about an hour 10 minutes. Pulled at 165F. It was super juicy and the perfect amount of smoke. I used standard charcoal and a chunk of white oak.
