Hemplers thick cut uncured bacon, 1/4lb lean ground beef from a local friend, 1/2lb ground elk, 1/4 ground elk sausage, 1 table spoon brown gravy mix, 1/4 container of Panko bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 tablespoon of onion powder. Mixed for maybe 30 seconds by hand. Formed into nice meat loafy shape. I covered the smoker grill with foil, then tore around the meat loaf so the foil was only directly under it, to keep the loaf from falling apart through the grates, covered with bacon weave, heavily peppered with fresh ground black pepper, drizzled with honey, then into pre heated smoker at 225 for 1.5 hours. After 1.5 I removed the foil under the loaf and back In for another 1.5. I had some flare ups I was smoking 16 links, 4 chicken breasts and a big rib steak at the same time. I sprits the chips out and was back to smoking. My first meat loaf. And it was amazing. I hated meatloaf as a kid, everyone I had was filled with celery, or onions, and all kinds of things that ruined the flavor of the meat. This way is very simple, and delicious, 10/10 will be making it again, but I’ll be slicing into sandwich’s for meat loaf dips.
