Wagyu Meatloaf on a Pellet Smoker

Jason Hardee, Elite BBQ Smokers

I love a good moisture and tender meatloaf, but I do not like a Brick Hard and Dry meatloaf. So, I wanted to create a meatloaf that was moist but not soggy. Tender but not dry. So, to do this I decided to make a meatloaf with Wagyu beef. So, we took the trimmings from our competition #Snakeriverfarms Brisket and grind it into hamburger meat. We used this to make our Wagyu Meatloaf that was unbelievable delicious
