Meatloaf

[scarbelly]

Have been hungry for some meatloaf for a while.  Took 4# combo of beef and pork shoulder and ground together.  Split into two loaves for smoking as we are giving one to a friend who just had surgery. Stuffed with Jalopenos, Onion then seasoned with some rub and some chipotle powder and wrapped in bacon. They were smoked at 250 with a combo of pecan and hickory until they reached 160. I did that because they will both be reheated (except for the samples we tried)  

Ready for the weave

Weaved and ready to smoke

Smoked to internal of 160 since they will be reheated

Here it is after resting for about 20 min

Nice smoke ring on the outside and OH so tasty

That looks awesome Gary. Man, with a big old wad of garlic mashed potatoes, woohoo.

Cheryl - We love garlic SMASHED taters. I really like to keep some of the skins on and do a rough mash and finish then with some creme fresh or a little sour cream and lots of butter

For pork and ground meat mixture I would "normally" smoke to 165 if I was giving it or serving it to someone other than Mrs Scar and I. If I am only cooking for us - I would pull it a 155 and let it coast a bit. I like mine on the rare side

WOW... LOOKS GREAT.  I've done the breakfast fatty, but have never thought of a meat loaf fatty. 

It's on my listnow. Great idea.  

Thanks

I have never made meatloaf before.  all the recipies I have ever seen have a bunch of tomato stuff in them.  i am inspired to try some experimentation.
