Meatloaf on my mind

[myownidaho]

It's wet and gray, people are raving, so I made "The Meatloaf". I used half beef and half venison. I tend to add more veggies, including carrots, which I sweated and cooled before mixing. I also added a couple of cloves of garlic. Breadcrumbs were from stale home made sourdough and I used dried thyme, oregano and sage.

Mine came out a little wetter than other versions, so it's on foil for the first three hours.

Ok I am watching, Meatloaf is always a good bet for a good meal.....

145 came at two hours. After saucing, it looks like it slowed down a bit, which is fine. Just based on the smell so far, I may never bake a meatloaf again.

Simple, simple. Mashed Yukon Gold potatoes with lots of butter and sautéed home grown green beans from the freezer. I'm in comfort food mode.

Take aways; less sage, cut back on breadcrumbs and cook to 160 instead of 165. I will also try taking some of the glaze and putting it in the smoker for about 30 minutes. I will use that to brush each slice for service. As good as the loaf was, the simple glaze adds it's own layer of complexity. I think you could smoke an old shoe, rub some glaze on it and it would be tasty.

Told you that you could get rid of your oven.  

  Seen Red made me see the light with the smoke:  I won't go back.  Point to you, sir!!
