Meatloaf is a wonderful alternative dish to prepare in the smoker. I was short on time, so I picked up a prepared uncooked 1.5lb meatloaf at Central Market. I picked up their Tex-Mex version. It has a few Mexican spices add in. It comes in the small foil loaf pan. I peeled the pan away from the meat about 1 inch all the way around for good smoke penetration.
I fired up the smoker to about 275*. I placed the meatloaf on the hotter end of the pit. After about an hour, I removed the pan and placed the meatloaf on the cooking grate. It cooked for about another 1.5 hours I removed it when the internal temp hit 165*, and let rest about 15 minutes.
It came out really great. It wasn’t spicy, but a lot more flavor than some regular meatloaves. It went well with some yellow corn and mashed potatoes. I served some spicy BBQ sauce on the side for a little extra kick.
