Bacon Wrapped Smoked Meatloaf Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture

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

2. 2

   Shape the Meatloaf

   Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf shape on a large piece of parchment paper or foil.

3. 3

   Wrap with Bacon

   Wrap the bacon strips around the meatloaf, tucking the ends underneath to secure.

4. 4

   Prepare the BBQ Sauce

   In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and Kahlua. This will be used for glazing.

5. 5

   Smoke the Meatloaf

   Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the bacon-wrapped meatloaf in the smoker and smoke for about 2-2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

6. 6

   Glaze the Meatloaf

   In the last 30 minutes of smoking, brush the Kahlua BBQ glaze over the meatloaf every 10 minutes.

7. 7

   Rest and Serve

   Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the smoker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
