Smokin’ Ts Meatloaf

(a.k.a. The Comeback Loaf)

Meatloaf has taken a lot of heat over the years. Dry. Bland. Served in weird gelatinous slices by cafeteria workers who definitely hated you. But guess what? It’s time for redemption.

Enter: Smokin’ Ts Meatloaf. Moist (sorry), flavorful, and covered in a glossy glaze that’ll make you wonder if you’ve ever really tasted meatloaf before. Spoiler: you haven’t. Not like this.

🧂 What You’ll Need:

• 1 lb ground beef (or mix with pork/turkey if you’re feeling fancy)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup Smokin’ Ts (for the mix)
• 1/3 cup Smokin’ Ts (for the glaze)
• Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste
• Optional: a little grated cheese inside because you’re dangerous

🔥 How to Make It:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a loaf pan or shape freeform on a parchment-lined sheet (if you’re wild and unboxed).
2. In a large bowl, mix everything but the glaze sauce. Use your hands. Get weird with it.
3. Shape into loaf. Bake for 30 minutes.
4. Remove, slather on that extra Smokin’ Ts, then bake another 15–20 minutes until the glaze bubbles and caramelizes.
5. Let rest before slicing, unless you enjoy molten meat lava (no judgment).

🥄 Serving Suggestion:

Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or just a fork and your best “don’t talk to me, I’m eating” expression.
