This is one super moist and
savory meatloaf and to date, my
Signature meatloaf recipe.
First things first! Get out
there and fire up your smoker.
In this smoke I used Hickory
wood pellets in my Yoder YS640.
Pre-heat your pit to 245
degrees.
Place 6 lbs of 80/20
ground beef into a large mixing
bowl. Do not use anything less
then 80/20 ground beef. In a
medium mixing bowl combine 4
eggs, 1 cup Worcestershire, 1
tsp Rosemary, 1 tsp Thyme, 2 tsp
dry mustard, 1 tsp coarse ground
black pepper and 1 cup no salt
Ketchup. Mix this thoroughly.
Next pour the mixture over the
meat. Add 1 chopped red onion, 1
chopped green bell pepper, 4 oz.
chopped mushrooms, 5 oz. chopped
sun dried tomatoes, 6 cloves
garlic and 3 cups shredded
Parmesan cheese. Using latex
food grade cloves on your hands,
mix it up a bit. Now add the 2
cups Panko bread crumbs.
Thoroughly mix the everything
together. You want to work
the spices and flavor deep into
the meat.
Once mixed, let stand in
the fridge for an hour. After
the neat has rested, remove from
fridge and form
the meat into to two meatloaf's
of equal size.
Once you have formed the meatloaf's turn
them over and
rub Ketchup on the bottom.
Turn the meatloaf back over and do the
same to the top and sides.
Let stand for
30 minutes.
Place the meatloaf's near the
center of your smoker. The
smoker should be pre-heated to
245 degrees. Cook the meatloaf
until it reaches 145 degrees. At
this time mop on a liberal
amount of Ketchup and continue
cooking until the internal
temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Pull the meatloaf when the
internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Let stand 15
minutes and then slice. Be
careful to slice only what you
eat. This will keep the rest of
the meat that gets refrigerated
stay nice and moist.
This is a very easy recipe to
make and requires little
preparation time.
Enjoy the meal!
