Bbq Meatloaf With Roasted Sweet Potatoes And Sugar Snap Peas Recipes

TEXAS BARBECUE MEATLOAF

Steps:

• In a spice grinder, combine the brisket rub ingredients and grind together until a powder is formed.
• In a bowl, place the beef, nut flour, shredded onion, shredded bell pepper, jalapeno, grated garlic and egg.
• Mix lightly with your hands until loosely combined.
• Cover the mixture with enough of the brisket rub to completely coat the outside of the mixture ball.
• Gently fold in the spice rub into the mixture until distributed well throughout.
• Spray a grilling grid (or a foil pan with holes punched in the bottom) with a high temperature oil (grapeseed or safflower).
• Form the meat into a loaf and place on the grilling grid. Chill in the fridge while prepping your smoker.
• Get your smoker up to 250-275 degrees F.
• Place a water-filled pan under the grate where your meatloaf will be placed.
• Once up to temp, place the meatloaf on the grilling grid on the grate directly above the water-filled pan.
• Combine the ingredients for the Apple Spray and place in an all-purpose spray bottle.
• Spray the outside of the loaf well with the Apple Spray every 30 minutes.
• Refill the firebox with charcoal and wood every 45 minutes to maintain your temperature, but only use 1 chunk at a time as ground meat absorbs smoke very easily.
• When the internal temperature of the loaf reaches 130 degrees F, combine the Glaze ingredients in a saucepot.
• Bring the Glaze to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce to simmer. Cook for 20 minutes until reduced.
• Don't use the Apple Spray anymore and brush the Glaze over the entire top and sides of the meatloaf every 30 minutes.
• Continue smoking until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160 degrees F, about 6-7 hours.
• Remove from the smoker and let rest 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

BBQ MEATLOAF WITH ROASTED SWEET POTATOES AND SUGAR SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with cooking spray, set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine all of the meatloaf ingredients (except for 1 cup of BBQ sauce) until evenly incorporated. Divide the mixture into four, and then shape each into a small loaf. Place the loaves onto one side of the prepared baking sheet. Top each meatloaf with some of the remaining BBQ sauce.
• Place the sweet potato wedges on the opposite side of the baking sheet.
• Then place the peas next to the potatoes, making sheet to separate the two.
• Drizzle the potatoes and peas with oil and then season with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder.
• Roast until the potatoes have softened and the meatloaf is cooked through, about 25 to 30 minutes.
