Smoked BBQ Meat Loaf with Plowboys BBQ Bean Buddy

This past Friday was an exciting day for all of us at All BBQ Canada with the arrival of 21 amazing new products including Plowboys BBQ Bean Buddy.  Don’t let the name fool you, while Bean Buddy is a great starter for smoked baked beans its so much more.   As you’ll see in the Smoked Meatloaf recipe below that I prepared today its used in the meat mixture and also as a finishing glaze.

Smoked BBQ Meatloaf Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground beef, pork, sausage (I use 1 ½ lbs ground beef and ½ lb of pork sausage)
• 1 jar (2 cups) Plowboys BBQ Bean Buddy
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup sweet onion, minced
• 1/2 cup parmesan, grated
• 1/2 cup (3.5 oz) fresh mozzarella, diced
• Plowboys BBQ Bovine Bold Rub

Instructions

Preheat your smoker to 250ºF.

Combine the ground meat(s), 1 cup of Plowboys BBQ Bean Buddy, panko, egg, onion and cheeses in a bowl and mix well by hand.

Place the mixture on a work surface and form the meat into a loaf shape. Season well with Plowboys BBQ Bovine Bold Rub.

Smoke the meatloaf on the second shelf of the smoker and cook for about 45 minutes, or 100ºF internal temperature. Increase the grill temperature to 350ºF and glaze the meatloaf with the remaining Plowboys BBQ Bean Buddy.

Cook until the internal temperature reaches 160ºF. Remove from the grill. Slice to serve.
