Smoked Meatloaf

Meatloaf is one of the best meals to make on the Traeger. As we’re heading into spring (hopefully!) and we’re looking to get outdoors soon, this is one of my very favorite dishes! Whether it’s the Mini Smoked Meatloaf or Smoked Meatloaf Recipe these have been super popular so I know it’s time for one more!

I mean just looking at this picture, doesn’t it make you just want to reach the screen and pick the bits of charred meatloaf off the grill?

Or is it just me that’s weird like that? No? Whew, that was close! ?

Great because is THAT good!!!

Traeger Meatloaf

Jason made this delicious cheesy meatloaf the other day and surprised me with it for dinner.

Now, that is a surprise I can get behind!

Forget the flowers! Forget the jewelry.

Food is the way to my heart.

Psh, that’s right, it’s the way to woman’s heart just as much it is a guy’s especially when we are talking about a BBQ Meatloaf.

What can I mix into meatloaf?

Whether you’re topping it with barbeque sauce, slices of bacon or a teriyaki glaze it’s really about what does it for YOU! Some grilled onions, a handful of cheese on top that gets all melty? Oooh…. now there’s an idea, right? You can add just about whatever flavor you’re looking for. It will only enhance the meat!

What can I do with leftover meatloaf?

Sandwiches are certainly my favorite. Some great whole grain bread, mayonnaise and cheese. Yup – that’s leftover heaven right there!
Add it into Shepherds Pie – just sub out the turkey in this recipe. It’s a perfect use of leftovers.
Add it into large pasta shells and top with marina sauce and some cheese – repurpose perfection!

There was an amazing smoke ring on this meatloaf and the flavor was AWESOME.

I mean like, just give me a fork and let me have at it. I will never eat another meatloaf. I’ve been ruined for life.

What can I serve with barbecue meatloaf?

This is what really gets my tastebuds rolling, I love planning menus! Since this is a great family meal, we’ll keep it easy and casual. Dinner rolls are a MUST, then some smoked vegetables and maybe finish with a Smoked Crumb Apple Pie. That’s one happy household, I’m telling you!
