Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Smoky Spicy Meatloaf.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your smoker to a steady 225ยฐF, following the guidelines provided by the manufacturer.
Step 2
While the smoker warms up, take a loaf pan and give it a light coat of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine ground beef, diced tomatoes, eggs, chopped onion, panko bread crumbs, seasoned salt, two teaspoons of black pepper, diced hot banana peppers, pink salt, onion salt, garlic salt, smoked paprika, and a splash of liquid smoke.
Step 4
Dive in with your hands and mix until everything is harmoniously blended.
Step 5
Once your meat mixture is ready, transfer it to the greased loaf pan, shaping it into a pleasing dome on top.
Step 6
Place the meatloaf in the smoker, adding wood chips to the drip tray as directed by the manufacturer, and let it smoke for two hours.
Step 7
While the meatloaf absorbs that delicious smoky flavor, whip up the sauce by whisking together ketchup, chile sauce, sugar, a tablespoon of black pepper, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, red chile pepper, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.
Step 8
After two hours, check on your meatloaf and drain any excess grease.
Step 9
Generously spread the prepared sauce over the top, allowing it to seep into the meat.
Step 10
Return the meatloaf to the smoker for an additional 30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers at least 160ยฐF.
Step 11
Enjoy the tantalizing aroma as your meatloaf reaches perfection, ready to be savored.
