Well here is my take on Italian Meatloaf.
1 pound deer burger
1 pound 80/20 hamburger
1 pound ground pork
3 eggs
Fare amount Lea Perrins
Fare amount low sodium Soy sauce
Good covering Italian bread crumbs
Sprinkling of parmesan cheese
Good sprinkling of Oregano, Basil and Thyme
Sauteed 8 oz chopped mushrooms and med/large Vidalia onion chopped

Hand mix very well
Pour and flatten on waxed paper then assemble with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese
Roll up using paper then wrap ends and around it with thin sliced bacon
Again while it is still on the paper roll it into a 1/2 steamer pan and smoke.

I will take it to 155/160 for a finished temp but about a hour or so before, I’ll suck out some of the fat and spread marinara sauce over it
 
Oh man....That is gonna be some good eating! And good sammichs tomorrow. If theres any left over!

At 3:00 this afternoon I put it in a pellet smoker with just the smoke setting for a 1/2 hour at first then turned it up to 225.
@ 4:30 IT is 92 degrees and I think I'm 1/2 way into the smoke. I had it in my head it would be about 3-1/2 hour to get to 155/160.

I know Courtenay well. My wife and I lived and worked in Nanaimo when we first got married (I refuse to say how many decades ago that was). It is where I learned how to make Indian Candy, now more appropriately known as Candied Salmon. I hope you get to see your daughter soon and, if you come back throught the Rockies, look me up and we will swap lies stories and recipes.

I know about Indian candy. I have done a king salmon brined and smoked that was a large one 40" +/- a couple of years ago. I want to see what the Campbell river has to offer!

Thank you, if I may call you "my friend", I've learned from this channel and good chefs like you (and several others) for many years, easily more than I've been registered for. It just took me a bit to open my pantry door. :emoji_wink:

Many thanks, I'd love to meet.

Canadians love our American Friends so definitely call me friend.
