Meatloaf is a quintessential, classic comfort food. There is just something that feels like home when you bring a meatloaf to the table. But let’s be honest, sometimes it can be a little bit boring. That’s why I’ve played around and tweaked that classic meatloaf recipe to turned it into a show stopping Smoked Meatloaf that you are going to be talking about all week long.

As I always say – yes, having a true smoker like a Traeger Pellet grill will make this dish that much better. But you don’t have to have the fancy equipment. You can turn any grill into a smoker with just a little fire safe box and some wood chunks. You will have to adjust your cooking times to your methods. The end goal is to have the center of the center (so only push the meat thermometer halfway into the center of the meatloaf) to at least 160degF.
You may have seen my recipe for Smoked Mac & Cheese – which I mentioned goes so well with this smoked meatloaf, and I’m gonna say that again! They are a match made in heaven. I’ve had multiple requests to repeat this whole meal. You could add in some sort of vegetable to lighten things up – like a simple steamed broccoli or green beans.
