Method

Meatloaf Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatloaf Mix

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix until just combined.

  2. 2

    Shape and Smoke

    Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a smoker preheated to 225°F (107°C). Smoke for about 2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Brisket Gravy

  1. 3

    Make the Gravy

    In a saucepan, melt brisket drippings over medium heat, whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Simmer until thickened.

Smoked Green Beans Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Green Beans

    Toss fresh green beans with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Place in the smoker and smoke for about 30 minutes.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook the Potatoes

    Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to pot.

  2. 6

    Mash and Mix

    Add butter, milk, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dinner

    Slice the smoked meatloaf and serve with brisket gravy, smoked green beans, and garlic mashed potatoes.
