Ingredients
Meatloaf
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup crushed cheez-its
- 3 tablespoons barbecue sauce
- 3 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons Slap Ya Mama seasoning
- 2 teaspoons granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Topping
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker at 275 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet. Set aside.
Meatloaf
- In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except the topping ingredient.
- Shape into 2-inch oblong meatloaves.
- Wrap a piece of bacon around each mini meatloaf and place on the prepared baking sheet and rack. Secure each one with two toothpicks to keep the bacon in place.
Topping
- Top with barbecue sauce, and halfway through, turn each one over and spread additional barbecue sauce over the loaves.
- Smoke for approximately 2 hours, or until the internal temperature is 165, and the bacon is crispy.
Notes
- It's important to place your meatloaves on a wire rack so the smoke and heat can circulate around them evenly.
- The easiest way to mix your meatloaf is with clean hands.
- It's important not to overmix the meatloaf ingredients. Mix until everything is combined, and then stop. Overmixing will make the mixture toughen as it cooks.
