Since I can't eat brisket every day, well actually I CAN but I shouldn't, I made an incredible meatloaf. This is the best thing I've never had before. I didn't really have much of a plan when I started, but I would say it came out a solid 9!
To save some calories, i used 1 1/2 lbs of beef mixed with 1 1/2 lbs turkey and mixed in about 1/4 lb of chopped bacon. To the meat I added in panko breadcrumbs, celery salt, Kosher salt, lots of garlic, eggs, black pepper, chipotle pepper a coarsely chopped onion, some shredded mozz cheese and some bbq sauce. Smoked it with oak at around 250 degrees for around 2 hrs. until it reached 145 (IT), then I glazed it with some more sauce and removed the loaf when it reached 164. THat took an additional 25 mins or so. Served it with a dab of bbq sauce on top. I don't like overly sweet food so I went very light on the sauce, but in truth, it could have used a bit more.
I have never enjoyed a meatloaf as much as this and the house still smells amazing!
