Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 lb ground pork
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup barbecue sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cups smoking wood chips

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your smoker to 250°F (121°C) using your preferred wood chips for smoking.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1 lb ground pork, 1 cup bread crumbs, 1 medium finely chopped onion, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika.

3. 3

   Mix the ingredients until well combined, but do not overmix to keep the meatloaf tender.

4. 4

   Shape the meat mixture into a loaf, about 8 inches long and 4 inches wide, and place it on a piece of parchment paper.

5. 5

   In a small bowl, mix 1 cup barbecue sauce with a tablespoon of olive oil. Brush half of this mixture over the top of the meatloaf.

6. 6

   Transfer the meatloaf to the smoker and smoke for about 2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

7. 7

   During the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush the remaining barbecue sauce mixture over the meatloaf for a sticky glaze.

8. 8

   Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

9. 9

   Slice and serve warm, drizzled with extra barbecue sauce if desired.
