GREAT DINNER RECIPE

Ingredients: 

• 2 lbs. ground beef
•  1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs 
• 1/2 medium onion finely chopped 
• 2 cloves garlic, minced 
• 2 eggs lightly beaten 
•  2 Tbs. Bourbon (used Buffalo Trace, but any will do)
•  1 Tbs. Spice Isle Sauces Tropical Tamarind Seasoning (if you want it spicier use Tropical Heat Seasoning) 
•  6 ounces pepper jack cheese, cut into strips
• 1/2 cup Spice Isle Sauces Tropical Tamarind Gourmet Sauce

Directions: 

1. Preheat Smoker to 225 degrees F for indirect smoking. This meatloaf is great with Hickory or Mesquite wood.
2. Combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, eggs, bourbon, and Spice Isle Sauces Tropical Tamarind Seasoning in a large bowl. Mix gently by hand (do not overmix or meatloaf will be tough and chewy).
3.  Spread half of meat mixture on the bottom of a grill basket. Layer on the cheese, leaving about 1/2 inch of meat mixture on all sides. Top with remaining meat mixture. Press sides together to seal (you do not want to leave any holes as the cheese will seep out). 
4. Pour Spice Isle Sauces Tropical Gourmet Sauce (or Tropical Heat Sauce) over the top of the meat loaf, letting it run down the sides a bit. 5. Place the meatloaf in the smoker, close the lid and smoke for 4 hours or until the internal temperature reads 165 degrees F.
5. Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
