There are only a few food ideas that say football and tailgating.  One is wings and the other is smoked meats.  I created a truly unforgettable smoked idea (if I do say so myself).  My wife and I absolutely loved this recipe.  We had a friend over and lets just say that he and I had two full servings.  The flavor and the steps for putting together this El Yucateco Smoked Meatloaf are takeaways that I will absolutely use again.  The smoked meatloaf was spicy, sweet and had great smoked flavor.  It will be a winner at your tailgate party.  Put the meatloaf on a sandwich with the leftovers.

I used the red El Yucateco sauce which includes habaneros and that makes for a really good kick.  I mellowed the heat a little by adding ketchup and tomato juice my sauce mixture.  What was so cool about this sauce combination was that the initial taste of the smoked meatloaf started off sweet, and then, a little surprised kick at the end came back and bit you.  I love the look on my wife’s face when she does not know the kick is coming.  She always reacts with “that is spicy” and finishes with, I love the kick.  

I stopped by my local Walmart store to find my sauce.  They have a number of flavors but I just love the red sauce.  The green is good too and I have used that as a compliment to my enchiladas.  I found the sauce in aisle 12.
