Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 eggs whisked
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp BBQ rub
- 1/2 yellow onion finely diced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Mix ground beef, pork, eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, BBQ rub, onion, and cheddar cheese in a bowl.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it on a grill-safe pan or rack.
- Smoke at 300F for 2-3 hours, brushing with BBQ sauce at 155°F.
- Remove the loaf when it hits an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Don't overwork the meat. When you're mixing all the ingredients together make sure to do it lightly. If you overwork the meat, you risk making it too tough.
- Pellet flavor. I prefer using milder pellet flavors for the meatloaf. So try to use something like cherry, apple, or even pecan.
- Keep an eye on temp. Some other recipes say this will take almost 4 hours for the meat to finish cooking. This wasn't the case when I made this. I would start temping the meatloaf around the 90 minute mark to make sure you don't overcook it.
