Today, Chad's sharing this juicy meatloaf recipe that will have you feeling cozy & full of pork goodness in no time.

Ingredients
- 6 tbsp Spiceology Smoky Honey Habanero rub
¾ lb ground pork
¾ lb ground brisket
2 eggs
2 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
2 cup of pork panko or other breadcrumbs
- 1 cup chopped dill pickle
½ cup BBQ sauce (whatever you have on hand)
4 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 12 pieces of bacon, pounded flat (I used the back of a ladle)
Directions
- In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together well (except bacon, mustard and Honey Habanero rub). Remove from bowl and form into a 4" x 10" loaf.
- Rub the outside of loaf with the yellow mustard.
Layer all the bacon on a sheet tray stretched out. Overlap each piece by ¼ inch. Place loaf on the sheet of bacon and fold the bacon slices over to tightly wrap the meatloaf. You can massage ends to make bacon stick together.
- Carefully season all sides of the bacon-wrapped loaf with Spiceology Honey Habanero spice rub.
Place meatloaf with bacon-seam side down on grill or oven. Smoke or bake for 1 hour at 325° F or until internal temperature reaches 155° F.
- Pull from smoker or oven and let rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
- Serve & enjoy!
