Smoked Meatloaf & Smoked Chili (Redemption Tour)

[MileHighSmokerGirl]

Alright, after last weeks debacle, this is the redemption tour.

Last week's smoked meatloaf is now smoked chili.

6 Trays of Smoked Meat Loaf just went on the smoker.

I think that’s a good save

What is great about our hobby is most fails can be repurposed. Ask me how I know?!

Can’t tell you how many times a smoked meat has been repurposed !

However, I made ribs one time when I was newer to the smoking game… already injected and then I thought of brining them. Having run cattle and horses in my past… it was like a salt lick you’d give the them. They were so horrible that our beloved lab Taz… who would eat anything… (well, almost anything) sniffed the ribs and walked away! Pretty bad when a dog that will bring a horse “biscuit” to the porch, but won’t eat your ribs!!

Nice on the meatloaf chili and look forward to the redemption pics. I know you’ll nail em this time!

Love the save/repurpose! Very good call.

Good luck on meatloaf 2.0! Good day for it...altho I do love snow and we need a LOT of it.

Now I want chili! This is more enabling... Putting ribs on later and sloppy joes tomorrow, but now I'm rethinking tomorrow's plan.

I think next time I'll pack those trays to the brim.

The taste was fantastic but it didn't want to stay together too well. I need to work on loaf firmness so it slices nicely and holds together.

But, it all goes down the same way. Delicious.

Nicely done! Now I want smoked meat loaf!

Looks amazing to me! Our freezers are jam packed. Soon as we can eat some space out of them meatloaf will be coming soon.

I eat my mistakes, too. Sometimes I share with friends that aren't as picky. Well often I pass all of them off. My last batch of bagel dogs got passed off as they didn't care it stuck to the parchment paper and ripped the bagel.

I think next time I'll pack those trays to the brim.

I found to clean slice meatloaf it needs an overnight in the fridge.
You can add more binder to slice it same day, but I don't like texture the next day.

All looks great to me. I like to make my meatloaf, refrigerate, slice, then pan fry to get a crust on both sides of the slice, then top with fresh sauce. I dont sauce on top of the whole loaf in the oven anymore. Did for years, like most people do, then one day that light bulb came on...or I saw something on the internet...or something...

I like to trim the ends for good even slices of the rest of the loaf and use those ends for a sammitch!

Looks mighty tasty to me… I’d definitely make some of that disappear.

Just a suggestion but if you add a scoop of mashed potatoes per tin… it will help to firm up your loaf for slicing.
