Ingredients
- 3 ⅓ pounds 80% lean ground chuck
- 1 cup quick oats (and up to 1/4 cup more if you feel it needs it)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 1 ½ tablespoons dried onion
- 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon ground sage
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground mustard
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Place the ground chuck in a large bowl.
- Add 1 cup of oatmeal, milk, eggs, onion, garlic, sage, paprika, mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well. If you feel the mixture is too wet and needs another 1/4 cup oatmeal, go ahead and add it in.
- Shape into a loaf (about 10” long and 8” wide). Pack tightly.
- Place the loaf on a wire rack. The wires on the rack should not be widely spaced, but rather small squares so the loaf does not fall through.
- Place the rack with the loaf in the smoker and set to smoke.
- Allow the meatloaf to smoke for 30 minutes, then set the temperature to 225º Fahrenheit.
- Cook for 2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 160º Fahrenheit.
- Glaze the meatloaf with your favorite bbq sauce during the last 20 minutes of cooking. The meatloaf is done when the internal temperature reaches 165º Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
