Thursday I cook a smoked meatloaf and a sausage cheddar fattie..
Heres the recipe...
Smoked Cajun Style Meatloaf
1 medium yellow onion -- chopped
1 stalk celery -- chopped
1/2 medium green bell pepper -- core, seed, chop
2 green onions -- minced
1 clove garlic -- minced
2 bay leaves
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper -- freshly ground
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup catsup
1/2 cup bread crumbs -- fine, dry
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 pound lean ground pork shoulder
2 eggs -- slightly beaten
1. Mix the onion, celery, bell pepper, green onions, garlic, bay leaves, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, cumin, nutmeg, Worcestershire sauce, & Tabasco sauce in a medium sized bowl...
2. Melt the butter in a heavy 10 inch skillet over moderate heat.. Add the vegetable/spice mixture, & cook, uncovered, for 6 minutes, stirring constantly, until the onions & peppers are soft.. Remove from the heat & let cool until warm to the touch.. Discard the bay leaves. Stir in the milk, catsup, & bread crumbs...
3. In a large bowl, combine the beef, pork, eggs, & the bread crumb mixture.. Pack the meat mixture into a plastic wrap lined, 9″ x 5″ x 4″ loaf pan.. Set in frig overnight to hold its form..
4. Next day remove from frig let set at room temp for a hour before cooking.. Preheat smoker to 275-300*. Flip loaf over on to a wire cooling rack.. Set in smoker, cook to a internal temp of 160-165*
Enjoy..
If you would like it hotter..Add more Cayenne or Tabasco..

Back in the day..when I tried smoking it on a cooling rack...It always fell apart.. One weekend being on call for the company...We had a emergence...I popped it in the frig.. Left it over night and cooked it the next day...Works great..Also it gives a chance for the seasonings to meld through out the meat...
