    mikeb6109,[p]Something that worked for me was to take some tomato pesto and mix it with pureed pepproncini, and work that through the ground meat. I added a handful of breadcrumbs to soak up the excess liquid. It added a nice bit of tang.[p]gdenby

    this ones different, i wouldnt use the ground chicken again because i would want to cook it to a lower internal temp. the raisins plump back into grapes if you add them,

    mikeb6109,[p]It all depends on your taste. With meatloaf, folks are putting so much stuff in there that I would not recognize it as meatloaf.[p]I like to keep it simple which brings back some actual memories of what Ma used to make. And it just happens to turn out great on the egg.[p]Just a pound and half of lean ground beef; one onion finely chopped; a cup of fresh bread crumbs; one egg; a bit of worcestershire sauce; some thyme; garlic salt; and a half cup of ketchup all mixed together and formed into a loaf. Rub another half a cup of ketchup on top placing the loaf (NOT in any type of pan) into an indirect set-up over a drip pan at 350 until an internal temp of 160 - about one hour.[p]To me, this taste like real meatloaf.

    mikeb6109,
    There are many receipes so I won't make a recommendation.[p]Smoked my first meatloag recently. Couldn't find a wire,bread basket here in Metro KC. So I cooked it in my wok.[p]I cook everything @ 225 to 250. After about 5 hours the internal temp reached 165. Everybody that tasted it ask me to cook another. It even had a smoke ring.[p]Meatloaf has joined the rotation of foods I cook.[p]

    <p />StumpBaby,
    after you get over the raisins in the meatloaf thing, it seems natural to put apricots and prunes in your lamb stew.
