Directions
Preheat: Fire up your favorite smoker and preheat it to 225 degrees F. Hickory and oak are delicious with this recipe.
Make the Meatloaf: Combine all the ingredients for the meatloaf in a bowl. Mix very gently, taking care not to overmix (overmixing can result in a tough meatloaf).
Form the Loaf: Form half of the mixture into a loaf on a grill basket or a pan that allows smoke to circulate all sides. Add the cheese on top of the first layer of meat and then add the remaining meatloaf mixture on top of the cheese. Press and reform the loaf to seal the cheese inside.
Sauce: In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the sauce and mix well. Pour the sauce over the top of the meatloaf, ensuring it covers the loaf evenly on the top and sides.
Smoke: Place the meatloaf in the grill basket on the preheated grill grates. Close the lid and smoke for 4 hours or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165 degrees F.
Dig In! Remove the meatloaf from the smoker and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Watch out for melty cheese oozing out from the middle of the loaf!
