So many nice meatloafs posted lately leaving me with a craving. Finally had some time to spend in the kitchen. I’d have smoked these for sure if I’d realized we weren’t in for another day of 50 mph winds. With wet wood and not being prepared it was the oven today. Here we go first up 6 local farm fresh eggs

6 T Worcestershire sauce

9 oz tomato paste

3 T Italian seasoning
F91CCC93-402D-46A8-A3B2-B27CF833C9B3.jpeg
3T salt and 1T black pepper. I used this Smokin It in place of salt. It’s a mesquite smoke salt with some msg.

Whisk together in preparation of adding to meat.

1 large sweet onion and one medium bell pepper fairly finely chopped.

24 cloves cheater pre minced garlic

2 cups almond flour

Now the meat 4 lbs of ground beef and 2 lbs country sausage

Hand mixed and formed into to loaves.

Oven set to 350F , here they are at about an hour. I tented with foil at this point.

I winged it on the glaze of sugarfree Ketchup , 3 oz tomato paste and a good amount of Brown Swerve until I liked taste and consistency. Glazed with about 15 minutes left to go. Finished at about 2 hours. Here is one of the loaves and a sliced shot. Pretty moist and tasty. Next time I’ll likely add another 1 or 2 tablespoon of salt but overall happy. I’ll test fry to get the salt dialed in.

Thanks for looking! I’ll be doing some sandwiches this week with Aunt Millie’s carb smart bread, sugar free bread and butter pickles and Colby cheese.

I hear you on the wind. Finally ready to fish and the wind is crazy here in the spring. Those meatloaf's look really good. I getting another round of those vortex ribs going. Man it is going to be hard to go back to smoked ribs!

Some good looking meatloaf Jeff, it looks delicious! Ever since I smoked a meatloaf, I never went back to the oven again but it sounds like you had a pretty good hankering, and you definitely scratched that itch!
 
Órale! Congratulations on the ride. Is that rub local or can it be sourced nationwide. Had never heard or seen it before. But I like it.
 
Looks fantastic from here !!
Thanks! Turned out pretty good

Steaks sound great too! Yea most time the last month I’ve had time to smoke it’s either been raining, blowing or both
Hear hear ! ... that looks like a winner !
Thank you
Thanks

The Loaf of Life, absolutely phenomenal work Jeff! RAY
Thanks Ray
Looks really good. The name of the seasoning is one of the best I’ve heard lol
Thanks! They have a pretty interesting lineup. I won a case of their seasonings about a year ago. I really like keeping this one around as it’s mostly a mesquite smoked salt with msg. Handy for many things

Thanks Joe! 100% smoking would have been far better
Absolutely gorgeous!

Thanks Jim
I will be anticipating those sugar free bread and butter pickles .
Love them on a meatloaf sandwich , Meijers has a store brand. This year when I make my own I’m going to learn to can them

Thanks , it can be ordered on line I think. They are out of Texas. My buddy locally owns Redbeard Seasonings as well. He has a lineup that’s been winning a ton of awards. Donates a portion to Wounded Warrior as well. He has an online site. Check him out.
 
Looks fantastic Jeff, great looking loves. Love the not cut shot, beautiful colours
been a couple months for a meatloaf up here , so will have to do one soon.

( Just me but that is a lot of garlic, maybe just for me lol )

And the winds here last couple days have been very strong, but took 99% of the snow , so hope that's is for this year.

Thanks David! I adapted this from someone else’s recipe and thought the same but went with it. I think if one used fresh mince you might cut it some.
