This summer I had smoked meatloaf for the first time and I was hooked!

Back Story:

This past summer we set up our fifth wheel camper permanently at a local lake. In our little campground there are only 5 permanent campers; however, around the corner on the point of the lake there are several other permanent camp families. On Saturday evenings a bunch get together and make a family dinner to share. Seems I usually make the cocktails- favorite recipes to come soon!

On one particular evening, Laura made her smoked meatloaf in their traeger smoker. Everyone around me had been raving about her meatloaf before it was finished.

Let me tell you, it totally lived up to the hype.

During a cornhole competition that went well into the morning, a couple of the younger guys snuck up onto Shane and Laura’s porch and stole the remainder of the meatloaf out of their outdoor refrigerator!

My guys totally loved Laura’s meatloaf. I asked Laura for her recipe but we do not have a smoker at home. I played around with her recipe and came up with our Easy Smoked Meatloaf Recipe made in the oven. Which is a HUGE hit at our house!

Thanks Laura!

How Do You Make Easy Smoked Meatloaf In The Oven

This is such an easy smoked meatloaf recipe to throw together. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl add all the meatloaf ingredients: ground chuck, quick oats, milk, dried minced onion, egg, monterey jack cheese and liquid smoke into the bowl.

Get your hands in there and mix it, thoroughly. If not a fan of raw meat and eggs use a big spoon but in my opinion, hands mix it the best. Once mixed you will need to have a baking pan with a rim ready to use.

Form the meat mixture into 6 or 7 small loaves. ( 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches-approximate)

Then in a small mixing bowl add the ketchup, brown sugar and mustard together. Stir until combined. Use a tablespoon and spoon the sauce on top of each small meatloaf. Then place the pan with the meatloaves in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Can You Make Easy Smoked Meatloaf In A Muffin Pan?

Of Course! Just leave out the liquid smoke when making the meatloaf mixture. Form into a loaf shape on a baking sheet and place on the wire rack under indirect heat in your pellet smoker.

Make sure you have an empty drip pan. For best results, check your meat thermometer after 1 hour. The internal temperature of the meatloaf should 160 f. You should have the perfect smoked meatloaf!

Want your delicious, perfectly-cooked meat? Follow this tip: make sure the internal temperature reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), and don’t forget that after you take it out of the oven, let stand for 10 minutes to give its flavors time to finish cooking. Bon appétit!.
