Have a good one here. Threw a 2 lb meatloaf in the smoker. So simple how I put it together...
2 lbs 85% ground beef
2 eggs
1 tube saltine crackers ground up
1 package Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning
McCormick's Molasses Bacon seasoning
I mixed the eggs, crackers, and ranch seasonings all together and then formed my loaf on a small cookie sheet before I moved it to my rack. Then I coated it generously with the molasses bacon seasoning. Smoked it between 200 - 225 degrees for about 4 hours using just hickory wood chips.
This is my 1st time using ranch seasoning with beef and I must admit the flavor was pretty subtle. You might want to add a 2nd packet. The molasses bacon seasoning stood out more and made this very tasty. Combined with the hickory smoke you would swear that a thick slice of this tasted like the best beef jerky... in a tender and juicy loaf.
I like experimenting with meatloaf and mixing things up a bit. For this I made a beef gravy to pour over it. Delicious!
I cook for 3 kids which feels like a small army at times with the way they eat, and there's always some leftovers. There were no leftovers... :)
