Meat Loaf Hot Smokey West Texas Bbq Recipes

Steps:

• Combine salt, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, cumin, Mexican oregano, and thyme in a spice grinder until powdered. Set rub aside.
• Combine beef, almond flour, bell pepper, onion, jalapeno, egg, and garlic in a bowl. Mix lightly with hands until loosely combined. Gently fold in spice rub mixture until distributed throughout.
• Punch holes in the bottom of the aluminum foil pan and coat with grapeseed oil. Form the meat mixture into a loaf and place in the prepared pan. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the smoker.
• Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Place a water-filled pan under the grate where the meatloaf will be placed. Fill firebox with charcoal and 1 chunk pecan wood.
• Place meatloaf in the hot smoker.
• Combine apple juice, vinegar, bourbon, water, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice in a clean, all-purpose spray bottle. Spray the outside of the meatloaf well with apple spray every 30 minutes.
• Refill firebox with charcoal and 1 chunk pecan wood every 45 minutes to maintain temperature; ground meat absorbs smoke very easily, so use only 1 chunk of wood at a time. Smoke meatloaf until internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F (55 degrees C), about 2 hours.
• Combine water, ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, mustard, lemon juice, honey, liquid smoke, ancho chile powder, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring glaze to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook until reduced, about 20 minutes.
• Discontinue apple spray; brush glaze over entire top and sides of meatloaf every 30 minutes. Continue smoking until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 4 to 5 hours more. Remove meatloaf from smoker and let rest 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Steps:

• Prepare a smoker for cooking at 225 degrees F.
• Put ground beef and ground pork in a large bowl.
• Stir together dry mustard, paprika, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt and pepper in a second bowl. Add the barbecue sauce, breadcrumbs and eggs to the spice mixture and stir well.
• Pour over the ground meat mixture.
• Using your hands, mix together until the color is even.
• Put meatloaf in a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Reshape the mixture into a loaf. Smoke over indirect heat until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.

Steps:

• Soak hickory and mesquite chips or pellets; add to smoker according to manufacturer's directions. Heat to 225°. , In a large bowl, combine eggs, onion, bread crumbs, milk, 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Add beef; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into a 10x4-in. loaf on a greased smoker rack. Combine rub ingredients; rub over meat loaf. Place in smoker; smoke until a thermometer reads s145°, about 1 hours. Brush generously with remaining 3/4 cup barbecue sauce. Smoke until a thermometer reads 160°, 10-15 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl until smooth, then whisk in 1/3 cup barbeque sauce, garlic, chipotle chiles, adobo sauce, kosher salt, black pepper, celery salt, cumin, and Worcestershire sauce until evenly smooth. Mix in the onion, oatmeal, and ground beef with your hands until evenly blended. Pack the mixture into the prepared pan. Brush the top of the meatloaf with 2 more tablespoons of barbeque sauce.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Steps:

• In a medium skillet over medium heat combine the onion, chicken stock, garlic, olive oil, cumin, oregano and thyme. Cover and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring once or twice for 10 min. Uncover, raise the heat slightly and continue to cook, stirring often, until all of the liquid has evaporated and the vegetables are lightly browned, 8-10 min. Remove from the heat. Add 1/2 cup of the BBQ sauce and the evaporated milk and stir, scraping any browned deposits from the bottom of the skillet. Cool to room temperature. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. In a small bowl whisk together the eggs, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and chipotles. In a large bowl combine the oats, the cooled mixture from the skillet, the beef and the beaten egg mixture. Stir together lightly but thoroughly. Spoon into a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan, mounding the meat mixture slightly. Spread the remaining 1/3 cup bbq sauce evenly over the top of the loaf. Bake the meat loaf until the top is lightly browned, the juices are bubbling, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf registers 130 degrees, about 1 hour. Let the loaf rest in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes (it will reabsorb rendered juices and become firm enough to cut). Slice the meat loaf and serve immediately.
