So delicious you’ll love it….even if you don’t like meatloaf!

2 lb ground beef (80-20%)

2 eggs

2/3 c. fine, gluten free bread crumbs

½ c. ketchup

4 scallions, chopped

1 tsp. sea salt

2 tsp gluten free soy sauce

½ tsp ground black pepper

½ tsp rubbed sage

¼ tsp coriander

4 pieces gluten free bacon, sliced into halves

¼ c. ketchup, split

Canola oil

Mesquite chips

Water Pan Aromatics: 1 cayenne pepper (sliced), 1 tangerine (sliced; juiced & peeled) 1 small onion (peeled & quartered), Leaves of 1 celery heart, 2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp coriander & 1 tsp sea salt. Add water to top off pan.

Prepare smoker according to manufacture directions. Add wood chips & water pan to smoker. Heat smoker until it starts producing smoke.

Brush 2 glass or metal loaf pans with oil.

Mix all ingredients (in first section, being careful not to over mix.) Over mixing will cause the meatloaf to be tough.

Smoke meatloaves for 3 to 4 hours or until desired doneness. Remove from smoker & serve.

Hope you enjoy!!!
