Bacon, Mushroom & PepperJack Cheese Meat Loaf (In the smoker)
1 lb Lean ground beef
1 lb Lean ground pork
1 small Onion; finely chopped
1 can (4.25oz) finely chopped black olives
1 Egg
1/2 c bread crumbs (or Panko crumbs)
1/4 c Evaporated milk

1 cup sweet Bell peppers, finely chopped
1 pkg (12 oz) bacon
In a large bowl add all ingredients but cheese and bacon. Cook and crumble the bacon, drain well and divide in half, placing 1/2 in meat mixture. Add all but 1/2 cup of the shredded smoked cheese to meat mixture. Blend well and place in perforated loaf pan or foil pan (removing from pan after 1 hour). Top with cooked crumbled bacon. Smoke at 225 degrees, until the internal temperature is 160 degrees, then top with the rest of the PepperJack cheese (at around the 3 hour mark). Return to the smoker and up the temperature to 250 degrees.
Smoke at 250 degrees until 165 degree internal temperature - around 3 1/2 hours.
I doubled the recipe,
added 1 # ground pork
went with 4C quick oats pwdrd
& cheddar in the middle
used extra tomato sauce for the top
glad I went big or go home
nuked 1 pan and have 2 more in the fridge :)
I use beef, pork, and lamb in my meatloaf. Some folks like ground turkey but I think it makes it too dry. You would have to use a more fatty ground beef to compensate. I have also substituted Owens breakfast sausage in place of the pork when I couldn't find any.
I mix two lbs of ground pork 2 lbs of ground lean venison and two packs of lipton onion soup mix. Add some crushed garlic and a couple chopped up onions a couple eggs and a lb of cooked bacon. split it in half to make to loafs. I spread each out on wax paper to make a rectangle and drop some slices of cheddar cheese on it and roll them up and put it in loaf pans. Put a few slices of uncooked bacon on top and some barbeque sauce. Cook one and freeze the other for later.
