Smoked a meatloaf tonight

3 lbs meatloaf mix(beef, veal, pork). They had this at store, if not I would have used 2lb 80/20 ground beef and 1lb ground pork
Medium onion, 8 cloves garlic, and 2 jalapeño, diced
6 slices thick cut bacon, sliced 1/4”
Render fat and brown the bacon. Add veg mix and brown these down (smells so good, btw)
Drain excess fat and set aside to cool.
Large mixing bowl: add meat, bacon/veg mix, 2 beat eggs, 3/4 cup bread crumbs, fresh parsley and sage, S&P, Worcestershire, hot sauce, fish sauce (Yes, fish sauce).
Hand mix. Form into loaf. Place on a wire rack on top of a foil lined sheet pan. Sprinkle favorite bbq rub and additional salt on top.
Smoke at 325 until 160 internal temp, probably about 90-120mins. Definitely want to use a leave in temp probe for this. You could do this in oven too.
Such a nice crust on the outside, but still tender and moist if you pull at 155-160.
Serve with brown gravy, mashed taters, cafeteria green beans.
Had this tonight. Everyone loved it(11y/o-78y/o).
