It’s packed with cheddar cheese, onions, and topped with a brown sugar ketchup sauce for a delicious mini meatloaf!

How to Make Smoked Mini Meatloaf

How do you make moist meatloaf?

A binder like bread or oats is a must in meatloaf but it can often dry out the meat. Adding milk to your meat mixture will help keep it moist and flavorful. Milk is essential to keep the meat from drying out!

How long do you cook a meatloaf on the grill?

• After closing the lid you’ll cook the meatloaf for about 45 minutes.

Is it ok to eat meatloaf when it’s pink?

Color isn’t the best indicator for doneness. The internal temperature needs to reach 160 degrees to be considered safe. Remember after you remove it from the grill wrap it loosely in foil and the internal temperature will continue to rise as it rests. It can rise as much as 10 degrees!
