I'm Talkin' 'Bout Meatloaf

In case you're wondering where the title for this post comes from, check out this link from Phineas and Ferb.

I've recently become a fan of Meatloaf, so today I decided to smoke some.  I figured if it was good out of the oven, it should be even better out of the smoker.  I went with a traditional Meatloaf recipe to mix up the meatloaf.  Here it is:

Ingredients:
1.5 lbs ground beef
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 TBSP Onion Powder
1 TBSP Garlic Powder
1 egg
1/2 TBSP Salt
1/2 TBSP Pepper
Additional Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:
1)  Mix all ingredients together and form into a loaf shape.
2)  Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
3)  Preheat smoker to 225 degrees
4)  Sprinkle the meatloaf with kosher salt and black pepper and place on the smoker in a foil pan.
5)  Once the meatloaf reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit, glaze the meatloaf with BBQ sauce.
6)  Continue to cook until the meatloaf reaches 165-170 degrees Fahrenheit.  Remove from the smoker and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
7)  Slice and serve with BBQ sauce.

If you are a fan of Meatloaf, this is the way to cook it.  It stays very moist, and the smoke adds another layer of flavor.  I think I'll be making a lot of meatloaf in the future.  All total, this took about 2 and a half hours to make and was totally worth it.
