Smoked Cheese Stuffed Bourbon Glazed Meatloaf (Heavy Pics)

[tx smoker]

We love a smoked meatloaf. And yours looks excellent. Love the melted cheese in it also

Thanks so much Jim. I really need to do these more often. No question, the addition of the cheese was outstanding.

That meal looks fantastic Robert!
You took the ultimate comfort food & brought it to a new level!

Very much appreciate it my friend. you have been turning out some pretty amazing stuff recently. Still waiting to see those beef ribs though

Fantastic meatloaf Robert. I've done this with cheddar before. It can't be beat!

Appreciate it buddy. You are correct, a good meatloaf is hard to beat. The idea of the cheddar sounds great. We love the flavor of the Cooper's though and it melts so nicely.

Robert,

As always you came up with a plan, stepped to the plate and knocked it out of the park! Very nice.

Thank you Dave. The kind words are appreciated. I've had far more meatloaf failures than successes but two in a row that were good, my confidence level is growing

YUM! Great job on the entire plate! Work of a man who knows his way around a kitchen!

Thank you Kimberly. Apologies but I believe I missed replying to your intro thread, but welcome to the greatest community on the planet. Beware though.

I'd wait in line for the opportunity to sit down to that plate, nice work Robert!

I keep telling you buddy, if you're around my house at supper time, you will not stand in line Thank you for the sentiments though... and the like.

Looks great, with no cheese oozing prior to plating. I notice you got that "cheap bourbon" shot in there twice. I'm guessing the TN folks will be along shortly.

The kind words are appreciated. The TN folks are welcome to come along any time. Several of my favorite bourbons are distilled in TN, so no dig there. JD just isn't one of them. I'm more into the single barrel, small batch varieties as opposed to mass produced.

Another standard brought up too the Robert level, looks awesome!

That's a quantum leap of faith but I appreciate the accolades.

I bet a leftover sammie the next day dunked in the gravy should be on deck!.

You're not going to believe this but I crumbled up the rest of it the next morning and put it in an omelette along with some more cheese.

Love me some smoked meatloaf and yours looks great!

Didn't care for it as a kind but that's because of the way my mom made it: bland, boring, and slathered with ketchup. Now that I can have them however I want, they have become pretty special.

Looks fantastic!

Thank you sir!!

ALWAYS follow your instincts - it took 200,000-years to develop them...

You are correct. I do follow instincts most of the time but for some reason with meatloaf, I tried following somebody else's recipe for the longest time and always came away disappointed. I will say one thing though, some days I feel all of that 200,000 years old

Looks fantastic Robert. Good all round comfort food that's been taken to the next level. Nicely done.

Yes sir, this one came out really well. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Point for sure

Thanks Chris!! It was epic

Man oh Man oh Man. That looks awesome Robert

Thanks so much Brian. Appreciate the kind words.

We have different means of cheap bourbon though!

We have a friend who visits pretty regularly and she likes to ruin perfectly good Coke with the stuff so she leaves a bottle here.

Boy, how do I love gravy vessels!

We share the same passion my friend. Wait till you see what I put together last night. you're likely to freak out

That meatloaf sure looks good too! Nice job!

Thanks so much Ryan. This was my best so far, which isn't saying a lot since I've only had 2 that came out well.

Sir that right there not only sounds and looks amazing I agree that even cheep whiskey/bourbon can make a truly delicious glaze! Can’t wait to try this!

Thank you!! It was kind if a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants dinner but I'd thought about it for a couple days and it came together very well. I use bourbon for a lot of sauces, gravies, and glazes. It can meld really well with a good beef flavor.

Great looking loaf Robert, we have added cubed cheddar and shrooms to our meatloaves for years.
