No Smoked Meatloaf Lately. So ...

[edmonds]

... here's one.

Homemade guajillo chile based rub.

Smoked about 1.5 hrs at 250F on Weber kettle with hickory chunks.

Basted with homemade sauce for last 10 minutes.

Slice it up and it's dinnertime.

Plated with mashed potatoes, made from homegrown gold and purple potatoes.

Thanks for looking.

I still say meatloaf is one of, if not, the best thing I have made in a smoker.

Thanks everybody.
Yes, meatloaf is ideal for smoking. It's not very dense, and smoke easily penetrates and permeates the meat with goodness. I don't use bacon because it's so good on its own.

Here is what I usually put in mine:
1 egg (lightly beaten); 1 - 1.5 lb ground beef (80-85 % lean); sautéed vegetables (onion, sweet peppers, jalapeño, garlic); 2/3 C bread crumbs (unseasoned); 2 T Worcestershire; 1 T mustard (Dijon or brown); 1 t paprika; 3/4 t kosher salt; 1/4 t pepper. Amounts are approximate.

Here is my rub:
2 guajillo chiles
1 smoked serrano or chipotle chile (not adobo)
grind chiles into powder (or use commercial powders)
1 t brown sugar; 1 t smoked paprika; 3/4 t kosher salt; 1/2 t garlic powder; 1/4 t pepper.

For sauce you can use ketchup and water as base, then doctor up with worcestershire, hot sauce, paprika, and maybe a bit of the rub.
