Instructions
Preparing the Meat Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and pork. Mix 'em up real good, so they become best buddies in this meatloaf adventure!
Toss in the breadcrumbs, chopped onions, minced garlic, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Time to get those hands dirty, my friends! Use your fingers to blend all the ingredients together until they're evenly distributed. Embrace the messiness!
Once the mixture is well combined, form it into a loaf shape. Pro tip: Make sure it's not too thick, 'cause we want that smoke to penetrate every nook and cranny!
Getting Smoky!
Preheat your Pit Boss pellet grill to around 225°F. Remember, low and slow is the name of the game!
Now, place that beautiful meatloaf right on the grill grates. Let it bask in the smoky goodness for about 2.5 to 3 hours. Keep an eye on that temperature, and if it starts to go above 250°F, adjust your vents to maintain that sweet spot.
After the first hour of smoking, brush on half a cup of your favorite BBQ sauce over the meatloaf. This will add a layer of flavor that'll make your taste buds sing!
About 15 minutes before your meatloaf reaches perfection, glaze it one more time with some extra BBQ sauce. We want that shiny, sticky, finger-lickin' goodness!
Rest and Serve
Once your Pit Boss masterpiece reaches an internal temperature of around 160°F, it's time to take it off the grill. Carefully wrap it in aluminum foil and let it rest for a few minutes – this step helps the flavors mingle and keeps it juicy!
Now, slice it up, and get ready to savor every smoky bite. Serve it hot, and watch your family and friends go wild over your culinary skills!
