The BEST Smoked BBQ Meatloaf

  • BBQ Meatloaf aka Smoked Meatloaf
    Meatloaf is comfort food at its finest. I grew up in the south and my Mom made us meatloaf all the time. We didn't have a lot of money, so it was a way to feed the family a hearty meal on a budget. In the video and recipe we will substitute BBQ sauce for the traditional ketchup. We will also add my secret ingredient, Worcestershire sauce! Of course I have to add my smoke element to everything I make as I don't cook indoors. We are going to roll this low and slow on an offset smoker although it's fine to cook it hotter and can also be done on a pellet grill.
    This recipe makes 2 meat loafs in a 9x13 pan. You need 4 lbs of ground meat. We typically use beef, but this is a great place to use some of that ground wild game you have in the freezer. Elk and venison are great choices!

    You’re right about that cling wrap. It’s a pain.
    I don’t use it. I’ll spray pan with non stick cooking spray and then put meat in and cover it with foil. After I take out of icebox I’ll take a butter knife and ease it down all sides of meat and it slides out.
    Works for me.
    Keep videos coming
    Thanks

    Thanks for sharing my recipe that was published in 1997 the Rath family cookbook! My original recipe was published to compliment my brother's BBQ sauce (Fat Jack's Q-4 time American Royal globe trophy). The smoking component was out of necessity. At the time, I was driving trucks OTR and fixed meals ahead of time. One winter's day I was getting ready to cook these and our power (electric oven) went out. So I pulled out my original first gen OK Joe (back when they were built correctly) and cooked them that way. I use the small loaf pans so they were one serving (I like to eat). With that said , I will end this with, "The world needs more Meat Church!!!"

      Been smoking meat loaf in "frog mat" it is silicone covered. It can be used to wrap it in and the smoke gets in all around.. I like smoke and this eliminates the need to firm it up in the freezer. I glaze it 360 initially with ketchup and it seems to help hold the moisture
      I'll try your way

I raised mine to 375 to help get the extra crust :)

    Matt, this meatloaf was off the chain. You did it again. Love the flavor from the Whataburger sausage, garlic and herb, and holy gospel seasoning. My wife had the awesome idea to use Southern Recipe sea salt cracked pepper pork rinds from HEB in place of the bread and use an extra egg in place of the milk for a lower carb version. Also used G Hughes smokehouse sugar free maple brown bbq sauce from HEB. We divided into 2 pans cutting freezing time to 3.5 and cook time at 225 super smoke was about 3.5. Simply amazing. Had friends over and they were raving about the flavors. Thanks again Matt for sharing - we plan on making it again this week. Another trip to HEB ….LOL

    Smoking meatloaf today. I don't use any eggs or bread. Just shredded cheese, which I guess is what holds mine together. I form loafs and freeze for about 30 min before putting on the smoker. I also glaze mine towards the end of the cook with a bourbon / honey/ BBQ /brown sugar glaze which gives it a nice crust. Watching yours makes my mouth water already. Good job.

    If you set a baking rack in a baking pan, you'll save yourself a lot of cleanup but still allow smoke on all sides. The dripping can also be used for gravy!
