Onion Question

[smokin218r]

What temp do onions get soft??

I am currently smoking a meatloaf with some diced onion in it.

My family doesnt like crunchy onion and I didnt think about the fact that I would only be taking it to an I.T. of 165.

Will the onions be cooked?

Thank You!

I think you will be fine, throw a slice on the rack beside the meatloaf and see how she goes?? 

Good luck - I love smoked meatloaf

Onions were cooked just fine. Turned out pretty good for my first smoked meatloaf.

Kinda threw the "kitchen sink" in it.

Will post a new thread soon.

Thanks DS!!

My family don't even want to see the Onions. I have been pureeing the ingredients for Meatloaf for years. Everything in the Food Processor, Onions, Green Chiles, Garlic, Ketchup, Eggs, Bread Crumbs, Etc...Everything but the Meat! Dump the contents on the meat, mix well and form. The flavors are uniformly distributed and no complaining...JJ
