Gathered up all the ingredients. I hardly ever follow the exact same recipe, but I keep it close. This time I used a few carrot sticks I had in the fridge, a medium onion, 3 hot and 1 mild Hatch chili, 3 huge cloves of garlic, one egg, 2/3 cup panko bread crumbs, 1/4 cup Dale's seasoning, 1/4 cup of Yes Dear Red Sauce, 3 good splashes of Worcestershire, 2 TBS Peppered Cow, 2.75lbs. ground chuck & 2lbs. ground pork.
Mix it up good to distribute everything, but don't over work the meat or you'll end up with a dense mass of meat which isn't very tasty. Sorry mom, RIP, your meatloaf was horrendous.
Grab a small piece of parchment paper and line a loaf pan. Makes for easy removal.
Ended up with a little too much meat, so there will be extra leftovers. YUM!
Pop them out onto a frogmat and into the FEC.
Smoked at 325 for about an hour, then gave them a glaze with some more Yes Dear Red Sauce. The sauce is a little thinner than most, so I gave them a couple coats as they cooked.
Plated with some mashed potatoes & mushroom gravy.
