Smoked Meatloaf | The BEST Stuffed Meatloaf I've Ever Made

In today's video we are talking about how to smoke meatloaf, but not just any smoked meatloaf! We are talking about the BEST stuffed meatloaf recipe I've ever made! This smoked stuffed meatloaf is so easy to make and is stuffed with cheese and spinach! I promise you this smoked cheese stuffed meatloaf is far from dry and the secret to that is the little bit of ground pork added to the beef when making the meatloaf! Of course it is very important to monitor the internal temperature when smoking meatloaf so it stays nice and juicy and definitely doesn't dry out. I have the complete recipe for this smoked stuff meatloaf down below, so go ahead and give it a try!
Smoked BBQ Stuffed Meatloaf
| Ingredients |
-2 Pounds Ground Beef
-3/4 Pound Pork Sausage
-1 Cup Milk
-1 Cup Breadcrumbs
-4 Cloves of Garlic (diced)
-1 Onion (diced)
-Sliced Pepper Jack Cheese
-Spinach (sautéed)
-2 Eggs (Beaten)
-Tailgater's BBQ Party Rub
-Elk Creek Hog Knuckle BBQ Rub
-BBQ Sauce of your choice
| Instructions |
Prep:
1. In a large bowl, mix ground beef, pork, garlic, and onions until evenly incorporated.
2. Once the pork, beef, garlic, and onions are mixed thoroughly, pour in milk, breadcrumbs, milk, and eggs and mix thoroughly until incorporated and slightly tacky.
3. Season the meat to desired taste and mix thoroughly.
4. In a loaf pan lined with plastic wrap, put down a layer of meat mixture halfway up the loaf pan and then lay down the slices of cheese and spinach.
5. Cover the cheese and spinach with the remainder of the meat mixture being sure to pack it tight in a loaf pan.
6. Once packed tightly in the loaf pan, flip the loaf pan onto a cooking rack and remove plastic wrap.
7. Apply a layer of the all-purpose rub to the outside of the loaf followed by a layer of BBQ seasoning.
| Cooking |
1. Set the smoker to 300º F.
2. Once the smoker is to temp put the meatloaf on the smoker.
3. Smoke the meatloaf can until it reaches an internal temperature of 160º F in the center of the loaf (Approximately 1.5-2 hours).
4. Once the loaf reaches 160º F, apply a light glaze of sauce to the loaf and allow to cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165º in the center of the loaf.
5. Once the meatloaf has reached 165º F in the center of the loaf, remove from smoker and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes.
6. After the meatloaf has rested for 10-15 minutes, slice, eat and enjoy!!!

Excellent thumbnail game on this one, bud. I bet this video has legs long term.

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Thanks Justin! That means a lot man, and I hope you’re right! This was probably one of my favorite thumbs I’ve done so I really appreciate your thoughts on it!

[@GoodForYou4504]

Good prediction. Year later. Thumbnail caught my eye, made this this am, and subscribed. 👏

[@Mark-8587]

2 3/4 pounds of ground beef and pork, throw in a half cup of spinach and call it healthy, my kind of chef! Awesome looking meatloaf , definitely adding this to smoked meals to try. Looks delicious, great job Darrin. How about a smoked Turkey video for Thanksgiving.

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Haha, thanks Mark! It’s so good, I wasn’t lying when I said it was the best I’ve made! I will have a few Turkey videos coming out for Thanksgiving! For sure two, maybe three!

[@donderosa2]

Excellent !!

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Thank you!

[@rebeccahwalker4395]

THANK YOU! We are 2 for 2 on having delicious outcomes from your videos. Due to “materials on hand” I had to tweak your recipe a bit and made an Italian version of this meatloaf. Now one might ask “Italian flavors…on a SMOKER?!?” And I’m here to tell you it was a resounding YES! We substituted mozzarella cheese and basil in the filling, and used Italian Spice Mix and smoked cracked pepper and salt for the seasonings. When finishing it up, we basted it with a mixture of 50/50 marinara sauce combined with fresh basil pesto sauce. It 👏🏼 was 👏🏼 DIVINE 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼! (Beautiful smoke ring too, by the way) We’re already talking about additional versions we can make by adding things to your basic meatloaf recipe - jalapeños and cheddar or colby jack cheese, for instance. Also, we’re going to be trying out a bunch more of your recipes and pick a favorite for Christmas dinner. Who knows - it might just be a Christmas meatloaf! It was that good. Thanks for sharing your wisdom here. And maybe put out a cookbook - we’d buy it!

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Hi Rebeccah, Thank you so much for such a wonderful comment, I can't tell you how much it means to me to receive compliments like these! I love the fact that you took a concept and made it your own, that is what cooking (and BBQ) is all about! Your meatloaf sounds absolutely delicious and I may have to give it a try myself sometime! I am so glad that you've had success with my recipes, that makes me incredibly happy! As far as Christmas recipes go....I do have a couple prime rib videos coming soon...but shhh, don't tell anyone ;-). Haha, maybe a cookbook will happen someday, but for now I'm just a guy with a camera who likes burning meat on cookers! I hope you and yours have a fantastic holiday season, and again thank you so much for your kind words!

[@bobbicatton]

Awesome meatloaf! Just the right amount of onions 👍

You mean you don't grill or smoke in the winter? It's great...1 smoker grill, 2 glasses wine, maybe 3 depending on temp, 2 hats, 3 coats, 2 pants, 2 pair socks and insulated boots. Cook and watch the Christmas trees grow. Can't beat it!

Good luck man! Let me know how it turns out!

I’m Back !. Making one with jalapeño, broccoli , velveta wrapped in bread!. Flatten out ground meat in a cookie tray, cover with stuffing & bread wrapped velveta , then roll up like a cinnamon roll, place in Dutch oven , cook

Great video, I’ll be making this thing asap! I was wondering what size cooking racks do you use?

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Thank you! Everything I use is linked in the description.

[@williamthornton9935]

Going to have to try this soon, minus the spinach though.

[@AshKickinBBQ]

But the spinach makes it healthy ;)

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Nice loaf!

[@AshKickinBBQ]

That's what she said!

[@rachelf3778]

Can this be cooked in oven

[@shanesarcade9210]

Using your form technique in my meatloaf for sure

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Awesome!

[@CoryLievers]

Looks really good, I will definitely give this a try sometime. But, did I see around 7 disposable gloves being used (and therefore thrown away)? Maybe makes video easier but I certainly hope that isn't a regular occurrence as that is a huge amount of waste that simple soap & water in washing your hands can solve. This definitely is a common thing in watching bbq/smoker videos on KZbin these days (certainly not just this channel, but a lot of different ones I've noticed). Thanks for sharing your recipes.

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Thanks for watching!

[@daniellebrown6345]

We love this recipe! We’re doing two of them at the same time for a family get together, how long would you recommend for two meatloaves on the smoker?

[@AshKickinBBQ]

That’s awesome! It should take the same amount of time as doing one.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Looks awesome man, what sauce or sauce mixture did you use? You probably said it but I didn't catch it

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Hey man, this was just a mixture of some leftover bottles I had in my fridge. Mix and match

[@1crazynordlander]

I'm trying this today on my PB 1600.

I hope it turned out well!

@@AshKickinBBQ It did! it was fantastic. I went half and half beef and pork.

Either will work

How about using garlic and onion salt?

If it doesn’t look like too much onion, You need more onion A rule I use for a lot of meals

[@sir_christmas_leopold_duckson]

Bro, do yourself a favor... Saute ya up some mushrooms and onions and add them to your stuffing sometime.

This recipe made enough for 2 meatloafs

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Weird, only was enough for one for me.

[@davereid3125]

Wish you would have edited the time, I only had 2 lbs of meat and I am going on 3 hrs of cook time.

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Why would I edit the time? The time listed is how long mine took. Obviously there are variables that could effect yours. Also, that seems extremely long, I’d double check your thermometer.
