Ingredients:
Here’s what you’re gonna need:
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (your choice, but pepper jack adds a nice kick!)
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup ketchup (plus extra for topping)
- 2 large eggs
Instructions:
Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to create a meatloaf that’ll have folks coming back for seconds:
- Preheat your smoker to 250°F (if you don’t have a smoker, the oven works just fine at the same temp).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, shredded cheese, diced onions, diced bell pepper, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, spices, ketchup, and eggs. Mix it all together until well combined.
- Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it on a piece of parchment paper or a meatloaf pan. This makes it easier to handle when it’s time to put it on the grill.
- Spread a layer of ketchup on top of the loaf for some extra flavor and a nice glaze!
- Carefully transfer the meatloaf onto the smoker grill and let it smoke for about 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Once done, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve it up with your favorite sides and enjoy every bite of that cheesy goodness!
