[BrianCal]

Hadn’t done one in a while, it was time for a nice meatloaf on the Performer, on a cedar plank.

That is one premium meatloaf! Beautiful.

Nicely done, Brian. Love that crust

Thats why I dont use bacon or sauce early, I like to let that form. Flavor AND texture, what’s not to love ?!?!?!

Looks tasty! Enough juices on the board to make gravy?

If you're gonna let your meat loaf, this is the way to do it!

We didn’t even try. Since we had BH on it we weren’t even thinking gravy. That might be an idea for next time…..

My wife wont eat my meatloaf anymore last one I made i added Wild Boar sausage and a little ground venison with the beef. It was the best tasting one I ever made she said until she found out what I used that was 10 years ago, and she still wont eat it.

That sounds EPIC. But my wife would probably react the same way

Wife and daughter used to would not eat deer. So id get home first, pull meat out of freezer, grind it, mix about 30/70 to 50/50 with ground beef, and use for dinner. Clean up, hide freezer paper from meat in bottom of trash and be able to see hamburger meat package on top. Making things like spaghetti, tacos, chili, sloppy joes, etc with strong tomato sauces. They ate a whole deer and didnt know it. Wife asked finally "you must have thrown that deer out, because its not in freezer" when she finally noticed it was all gone...... I said, nope you ate it you just didn't know it.

I used to go to work early..6am. Shed go late...,9am, take kids to daycare, etc. Id pick them up and shed get home latelate..630. so i usually made dinner.

Good approach. Mind if I steal it?

So you like living with risk?! I would have never admitted it.

I never liked meatloaf. Finally, after many years, my partner pointed out that the problem was not meatloaf per se. It was that my mother did not know how to make it properly.

The final straw came when my mother added cinnamon as the new "secret ingredient" in her awful meatloaf. We choked it down, but that was it for my partner. She declared from that point on, we would time our visits for non-meal times. Eventually my parents moved to a retirement home with a common dining room that prepared and served the meals for everyone, including guests like us.
