ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is lower in fat, while ground pork is often less expensive.

BBQ sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade BBQ sauce

Homemade BBQ sauce can be healthier with less sugar, and ketchup is a budget-friendly alternative.

Mix together 1 pound of 93/7 ground beef and 1 pound of Italian sausage until well combined.

Add 2 eggs to the meat mixture, ensuring no shell fragments are present, and mix until incorporated.

Pour in Worcestershire sauce and mix again.

Sprinkle in bread crumbs and mix thoroughly, followed by adding salt and black pepper.

Add ground parsley and half of the smoked paprika, then mix again.

Add minced garlic and the remaining bread crumbs, followed by milk, and mix until well combined.

Stir in the chopped serrano pepper and the whole white onion.

Incorporate ketchup into the mixture, ensuring it's well distributed.

Prepare a bread pan with plastic wrap, then transfer the meat mixture into the pan and chill in the freezer for about an hour.

After an hour, remove the meatloaf from the freezer and carefully lift it out of the pan.

Place the meatloaf in a smoker preheated to 275°F and cook for about 1 hour, checking the internal temperature.

Prepare the glaze by mixing cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, heated brown sugar, ketchup, red wine vinegar, and sriracha.

Brush the glaze onto the meatloaf after it has cooked for about 1 hour and is nearing the target temperature.

Allow the meatloaf to rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
