Reuben Meatloaf

[Timothy Hoffman]

Since I had more ground chuck that I needed to use or freeze I decided it was time for more meatloaf. This time around though my wife requested Reuben Meatloaf. This is our favorite. I usually make it in the oven in a pan. It is is the only meatloaf I make in a pan as it is layered. Today I made it in a rollup type loaf.

Here we go step by step.
First I take the typical meat, panade, egg and seasoning and mix it. Then it is spread out on some parchment paper and topped with a mixture of sauerkraut, swiss cheese, pastrami, sour cream and mustard.

The next step is to roll it up and seal the ends and edge. Then it is transfered to a clean piece of parchment paper that is trimmed and placed on a baking sheet.

I had to get out the old EE daisy wheel for todays cook as the Performer is apart for the bowl replacement.

This is the reason for the parchment paper. It makes for a nice easy means of transfer from the sheet pan to the grill. Once on the grill the excess is trimmed off. I leave it under the loaf for the first half of the cook so the meat doesnt start slipping in between the grate. Can any one spot my screw up yet?

Yep, that's right, I put it on seem side up. This caused it to open up. Still looks good to me!

The money shot with 4 bean salad and a pile of horseradish.

Excellent 'loaf Tim!

I usually build mine right on parchment on top of a cutting board, then trace around it with a knife to remove the excess. Might be easier for you.

Tim,

Your post inspired me to try this. My wife does not eat red meat so I modified your recipe a bit and used ground turkey with oatmeal instead of crackers. It was absolutely delicious and we will do this often. I used pecan for the smoke flavor - wow.
Thanks again,

Ray
