Equipment

  • Smoker Grill
  • Wood or wood pellets

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1/2 onion finely diced
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup BBQ sauce try our smoky Bourbon BBQ Sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the smoker to 250° F (120° C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef through black pepper. Mix to combine, but don’t overwork. Shape into a loaf.
  • Place the loaf on the grill and smoke for about 2 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 160° F (71° C), basting with BBQ sauce every 30 minutes.
  • Remove from smoker and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Wear food-safe gloves when handling raw meat to avoid any cross-contamination or food poisoning, especially if you're mixing the meat with your hands.
  • Make sure all ingredients are cut small and well mixed. This will help you to avoid big chunks of breadcrumbs or onions in the meatloaf.
