Smoked Meatloaf

[MileHighSmokerGirl]

My Grandma and Mom's meatloaf recipe converted to a smoked meatloaf recipe.

I was missing a few things so I improvised tonight.

6 lbs of hamburger
6 eggs (only had 4)
2 cups chopped onions
2 cups green peppers
6 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1.5 cup crushed saltine crackers
2 cans tomato sauce
2 cans tomato soup (was short on 4 cans of tomato sauce)

3 lbs each tray

Glaze
6 tsp brown sugar
1 cup Arrington Vineyards Blackberry Wine
1.5 cup ketchup
1/3 cup Rib Rack BBQ Sauce

(This is my own custom glaze recipe). I will put this on with about 15 minutes left in the smoke.

Well I think used a bit too much tomato sauce and using a 13" x 9" pan didn't work like I thought it would. It was a little runny when I pulled it from the smoker and it fell apart when I cut it and tried to get it out with a spatula.

I cut it up anyhow and put it in the fridge. I may put it on a baking tray later and try to dry some of it out in the oven or it might make some good addition for chili later. Not a total loss.

I'll have to make another batch next Friday night though. This time I'll use my bread loaf trays instead. Drats.

Sorry it didnt turn out as planned, it happens.

I usually use a bread pan to form it then smoke on a nonstick grate thing.

Do you have a pic of your grate?

I bought these as part of my Rec Teq package forever ago. I have seen similar on Amazon, I just dont want to recommend one I haven't used. They also work great for fish and shrimp.

As long as it tastes good looks aren't that important. I don't use tomato sauce just a little water. I use the disposable aluminum 5 lb loaf pans and poke holes in the bottom for drainage and after it's been in the smoker awhile I cut all 4 corners and fold down the sides to let it drain and have more area for smoke.

Smoked meatloaf is wonderful. All the kids magically show up when they hear I am smoking
meatloaf for dinner. I usually make 3 loaves in the smoker. My 11 y.o. Granddaughter will
ask for it for her birthday.
I use almost the same recipe, but I don't add soup. I do form it in the pans and then dump
it out onto the grate so that I get more smoke flavor.
