It was time to clean out the freezer this week. Had a couple packages of ground chuck, ground sirloin and just plain old ground beef. Mixed it all up and made a standard meatloaf, stuffed it with diced red and green bell peppers, sliced ham, good mozzarella cheese and some hot jack cheese.
I usually use my UDS about 3 times a week and as soon as I pull the meat off I close the intakes and cap the exhaust stack which smothers the coals. Next time I need to use it and depending on what I am cooking and how long, sometimes I do not need to put anymore lump charcoal in the basket. That was the case with this and there was not only some left over pecan from the last time but I tossed in a small hickory chunk for good measure.
Starring along side the main attraction of stuffed meatloaf is a small batch of basic ABTs and some baked potatoes.
I'm full as a tick and this is one of those meatloafs that is the best I've done to date and due to the combination of previous drippings and left over lump charcoal, I would be hard pressed to duplicate this exact thing again.
