Ingredients
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
1 medium white onion (diced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
8 oz bag barbecue potato chips
2 pounds 80/20 ground chuck
1 pound ground pork
¾ cup ketchup
¼ cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons Revolution Barbecue Kansas City BBQ Rub
Directions
In a small pan, heat the oil and cook the onion on medium heat until translucent. Add the garlic, stirring constantly, and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Crush the potato chips in the bag until they resemble breadcrumbs.
In a small bowl, combine the onion mixture, ketchup, tomato paste, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside ¼ cup of this mixture.
In a large bowl, add the meat, potato chips, BBQ Rub, and sauce and mix well until thoroughly incorporated. On a foil-lined baking sheet, form the meat into a 12-inch loaf. Cover and refrigerate for one hour.
Preheat your smoker to 250 °F with three chunks of hickory wood.
Using the foil, turn the loaf out on to the smoker. Brush the remaining sauce on to the meatloaf and allow to smoke for 4 hours or until an internal temperature of 160 degrees. Remove from the smoker on to a baking sheet and allow to rest for 20 minutes. Slice and serve.
