Method
Instructions
Fire up the smoker or preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
Soak bread crumbs in milk in a large bowl.
Cook onion, garlic, celery, and bell pepper in butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cook until the bell pepper is tender, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, and Spice Beautiful — Original. Add the vegetable mixture to the bread crumbs along with the beef, pork, eggs, and parsley, and mix together with your hands.
Pack the mixture into a 9- by 5-inch oval loaf in a 13- by 9-inch shallow baking dish or pan. Let it sit in the refrigerator for 1 hour to firm up.
Lift the loaf out of the baking dish and place it in the smoker until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 155°F, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
Sauce with Sauce Beautiful – Original, sprinkle parsley on top. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
