Jack’d Up Smoked Meatloaf

“Jack’d Up” Smoked Meatloaf gets its name from the insane amount of Jack going on inside. This smoked meatloaf is insanely moist from the Jack Daniels in the meat, ridiculously addictive from the pepper jack cheese oozing from the middle, and unbelievably bold from the spicy Jack Daniels sauce smothered on top. Add subtle hints of wood smoke to the mix and you’ve got a meatloaf well worth eating.
