  • 1 Meat thermometer
  • 1 Basting brush

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the smoker to 225°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, milk, eggs, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
  • Mix all ingredients thoroughly by hand until well combined.
  • Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it on a baking sheet.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the smoker.
  • Smoke the meatloaf for about 2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  • Brush the top of the meatloaf with ketchup and BBQ sauce during the last 15 minutes of smoking.
  • Remove the meatloaf from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

For optimal flavor, use a wood like hickory or apple in your smoker to enhance the smokiness of the meatloaf. Ensure the loaf is evenly shaped to allow for consistent cooking throughout. If you're looking for a slightly different taste, consider adding some chopped bell peppers or replacing the ketchup with a spicy BBQ sauce.
