Meat Loaf Wrapped around Loaded Mashed Potatoes, mushroom gravy

Have not posted for in a few , like most others , life gets in the way of the fun stuff.

Started with mashed potatoes , skin on , chopped bell pepper, celery, red onion and green onions. Mix all together after potatoes cool some.
Mix 2 1/2 pounds of hamburger with same items plus 2 eggs , lots of pepper, soya sauce and chopped bread.






Spread the meat out on to plastic wrap, this made a square about 12" x 16". than on that put thick layer of med cheddar cheese. Than spread the loaded mashed on top of that.
Now grab the edge and use the plastic to help roll. Pinch the ends to seal.







Now I put this puppy in the freezer for 30 minutes to help keep shape for the first bit in the smoker. I also when going into the smoker I made a tight tin foil tray to help keep shape. This fella weights in at almost 4 pounds
In the smoker , temp at 325 F, with mesquite chips and chunk. It took about 2 1/4 hours to get to temp. Around 163 F / 159F ( 2 probes )
Brought out and into the broiler for 8 minutes with a mozza cheese cap

Let sit for a few minutes while I finished up the mushroom gravy ( Mona likes canned mushrooms ) and me I could do with out either so she wins.

Sliced , nice smoke ring and the flavor of the loaded mashed and the cheddar cheese , very nice. The loaf was also very moist and nice flavour also.

So plated with 2 slices and mushroom gravy and a little kale salad . I really enjoyed this and looking forward to more tomorrow.

Little closer ,

That's about it for tonights supper.

Thanks for looking

Looks fantastic!! Not a mushroom fan myself though!

Ever consider wrapping it in a bacon weave like a Fatty?

Damn David, I nominated you for SMF over achiever. Way to go on this cook. I’d almost drive the 2000+ miles to take a chair. Absolutely delicious to me for sure. Nice work.

It was a very nice meal, great flavours also. Fun to do ( I am not a big mushroom fan , I can eat it instead of picking them out, added them to please Mona , hoping she will come around a bit with the smoked foods )
She did like it and I picked off most of the mushrooms on my plate and gave to her.

I'm not a room fan either, but I can do in small pieces, these were not small, lol
I have done a few basket weaves , thanks to Chris @gmc2003 and his step by step on how . I really like the bacon weave on lots of things

I to am not a big fan of the mushrooms, and I almost called it a fatty but had no bacon thawed out
or I would have had some bacon bits in the loaded mashed also.

I had 2 for supper and than just grabbed a slice on a plate while doing the dishes
( they are big slices as that is a large dinner plate the meal was on )
