Meatloaf

[John Solak]

Made a meatloaf, formed it in a bread pan and place in the fridge for about an hour. Then on the grill and seasoned with some Tatonka dust and black pepper.

Loaf done! About the ugliest loaf I have ever seen but it smelled outstanding!!

Placed me a think slice on top of some mashed potatoes and surrounded it with some mixed vegetables.

Then smothered it in some gravy. It wasn't the prettiest meatloaf I have ever made but it was one of the best tasting ones. It ate real well!!

I do agree that it has the meteor look when finished. But the slice on the plate sure makes it looks superstar.

It is called a Griffloaf. I just copied and pasted the recipe.

Here's the meatloaf recipe:

1/2 cup bread crumbs (I use Progresso Italian)
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup onions, finely diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1.5 pounds ground beef
1 pound Jimmy Dean Hot sausage
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
5 or 6 dashes of Worchestershire
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Saute the diced onions in the oil until they turn golden (about 10 minutes). Soak the bread crumbs in the milk for a couple minutes. Mix everything together and form into loaf. I smoke the loaf on a piece of parchment paper cut as close to the size of the loaf as possible. With the WSM that allows all the grease to drain into the water pan and the smoke penetrates the bottom of the loaf making a smoke ring there as well. I smoke at 300-350* until the loaf hits 170-175*. Sometimes I put a red sauce (ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard to taste) on top for the last half hour or so.

The best part of meatloaf are the sandwiches made with the leftovers.
