Another smoked meatloaf...

[Retired Spook]

Another burboun glazed smoked meatloaf but I skipped the pepper jack cheese filling this time.

In the smoker:

Glaze on:

Finished at 160-degrees - rested for 20-minutes:

Not bad - very moist, very tender and super flavorful but I mighta went a little overboard with the red pepper flakes!

A fine looking Loaf of Life Spook, nice work! I'll have to try a glaze on the next one, raised Italian, always just top with tomato-basil sauce. RAY

Pass a few slices over this way. I love meatloaf and yours looks delicious!

 

[Retired Spook]

Thanks guys! I miss those Italian meatloaves Ray - Grandma was a true gourmet.

I think I need to up the breadcrumb amount; this meatloaf fell apart a bit - broke in half right in the middle and the slices fall apart real easy if not super careful with the knife. Other than that it tastes great and the burboun / brown sugar / ketchup glaze is just great.

But I do miss Grandma's Italian meatloaf.

Do you use a little milk and a raw egg, maybe 2? Bells, onion, and garlic? Geez, now I want one! RAY

I don't use any milk, but 1 egg per 2lbs of meat gives me a good bind, and I just add enough breadcrumbs to firm things back up.

Yep to everything!

3-lbs chuck - 1-1/2 cup bread crumbs, 2-eggs, 1/2 cup milk, bell pepper, onion and fresh garlic and a good squeeze of ketchup.

Just falls apart a little too easy - but tastes great.

I just mix all my meat, peppers, onions, spices, egg, and usually a healthy shot of ketchup, then mix just enough breadcrumbs in at the end so that it isn't "sloppy"

Looks absolutely delish! Extra pepper flakes is fine by me. Especially since the pepper jack was skipped!

 

[seenred]

Lookin' good! I like 'em spicy...so I doubt there's too much pepper flakes for my taste...I'd tear into that Spook!

Thank you everyone - I just had a slice for breakfast and if there is one thing that is true about meatloaf it is that it definately gets better over night in the fridge!

And the spicy is nice

 

[clifish]

Nice spooks!, now I am even more hungry than after the throw down voting!

 

[Gonna Smoke]

THAT is a great looking loaf, Spook! I've got to do this...soon...

 

[jcam222]

Looks great!! I tell you I nailed my jerky with pepper flakes and it is HOT. Must have been fresher than usual.

TEMP < TIME AND PELLETS USED PLZ?

Great looking meatloaf sir!! Sorry to hear about the small woes that went along with it but in the end, it sounds like a really tasty cook. Meatloaf is becoming ever more popular around here, especially now that I've stopped trying to make somebody else's recipe and just make it my way.

I mighta went a little overboard with the red pepper flakes!

Is that even possible??
