I'm Likin' Meatloaf Again!

After reading so many posts about smoked meatloaf, I had to give it a try. I did a "hybrid" recipe from Barb D. and ChadVKealy's recipes. I took 1.3 lbs 80/20 ground beef, 1 lb. ground pork, added diced portabello mushrooms (sweated in frying pan), 1/2 c. Catsup, 2 beaten eggs, 1/2 c. Instant oats, 1 tsp. each of garlic and onion powder. I left out the salt. At about 110 IT, I glazed it with Sweet Baby Rays. I cooked it in the 14.5" WSM at 300-370 degrees for a little over 2 hours using the Minion method with two chunks of cherry and one of hickory. I also cooked a couple of turkey thighs on the lower shelf. The turkey thighs were done at about 75 minutes as the smoker ran hotter for the first hour. I did use the water bowl with just about two cups of water and will leave it empty and wrapped with foil next time. Everything turned out delicious and the meatloaf had to be the best that I have had. When I mixed it I thought that it would be too wet but it turned out perfect! Thanks for the ideas.

Thanks Cliff! I'm learning a lot from others here and have enjoyed trying new things. I have spent a lot of time in Redding (Lake Shasta and Whiskeytown) area over the years and love the area.

Hi Bob, I've tried to insert the pics, rather than including a link, using Shutterfly on my iPad with no luck. I had tried using Photobucket last night but for some reason it was hanging up when I uploaded pics. I tried it again this morning and it worked. What size pics to you recommend? I had used "large".
Thanks!

Hilary, outstanding job on the meat loafs. I like your ideas and the one nice things is you can try all kinds of different ingredients. I've stuffed some of mine with home made bacon and also with cooked ABT's in the center.
 
Barb- I love your recipes! I found ABT in the glossary and it was an acronym for jalapeño stuffed peppers. Does ABT stand for something else? I'm still learning the abbreviations as it is quite challenging for a noob like myself.

Atomic Buffalo Turds, ABT is a nicer way of saying it.
 
Great idea! I will add the bacon next time and perhaps the cedar plank. The turkey was tasty but a little tough. I think that I may have taken it off too soon...although it was at IT 170 degrees. I removed it from the smoker after about 90 minutes due to the high cooking temp.
 
jeez louise that meatloaf looks amazing. i love meatloaf more than any normal human should. been wanting to try the cedar planking as well.
 
Hilary, Great job on the smoked meatloaf it looks awesome!. Smoked meatloaf is a favorite around here so I will definitely be trying your technique in the near future - I've never had one with mushrooms before, so I'm looking forward to trying it...

Regards,

John
 
Definitely a fine looking smoked meatloaf, Hilary! A taste of that would most certainly cause any 'loaf-hater to change their mind.
