Equipment

  • 1 Smoker
  • 5 Large Chunks of Peacan Wood

Ingredients

  • 2 lb ground beef 85/15
  • 1 small white onion grated, with juices
  • 3 garlic cloves grated
  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tbsp your favorite barbecue spice blend
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • ½ cup brown sugar

For Serving

  • American cheese
  • toasted buns
  • mayo
  • pickles

Instructions

  • Preheat your smoker to 250℉.
  • In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients (except the ketchup and brown sugar). Mix together, just enough to combine. Don't over mix.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and brown sugar until combined.
  • Pour meat mixture into a loaf pan. Top with the ketchup glaze, evenly spreading over the top.
  • Place in smoker and cook until internal temp reaches 165℉, about 3 hours.

To Assemble Sandwiches

  • Once meatloaf has cooled slightly, slice into 1 inch thick slices.
  • In a pan over medium heat, add a tsp of oil. Next, add your slices in, so they aren't touching. Fry for 2 minutes, or until nicely charred.
  • Flip slices and top with American cheese. Cover the pan with a sheet tray, for about 1 minute, to melt the cheese. Remove slices from pan.
  • Assemble sandwiches. Add mayo, meatloaf slices and top with pickles.
