1770 House Meatloaf...Smoked

Griffin

I'm not quite sure where Mrs. G came up with this recipe as it was featured on Barefoot Contessa and she does not like her, but somehow she did and we've made it a few times since.

If you google 1770 House Meatloaf, you'll be able to find the recipe and directions for it, so I won't go into typing it all here (or you can click on the link at the bottom of the post). 1770 House is apparently some restaurant in the Hamptons, if you were curious. We did make some changes to the original recipe. Obviously, we smoked it rather than cooking it in the oven. We adjusted the temp from 350 to 400 as it seems to work better (and in this case I do mean dome and not grate, FYI). Apple was used for the smoke. And instead of 1 lb each of beef, pork and veal, we did 2 of beef and 1 of pork. Anyway, onto to what you really care about....the pics!!

On to the Egg

Done

Served up with roasted garlic parmesan mashed taters, some green beans and a roll.

Not your "classic" meatloaf, but pretty darn tasty. Hard to beat a smoked meatloaf. One thing I think I would do differently next time is not cook it on aluminum foil. Mrs. G formed it on the foil and I wasn't real sure how to transfer it over (and a bit to lazy anyway). I wasn't real thrilled with it sitting in the fat as it cooked. I did poke some holes in it as it cooked to help it drain away, but still. Next time...No Foil.

Can't wait for lunch to eat my leftovers.

I think I'll give this a try, Grif, while my herbs are going strong in the garden.  Looks great, and that's my wife's favorite food.

I do all my meatloaves on the grill ... no pans or foil under ... comes out awesome!

The meatloaf is on the egg as we speak. I used 2 lbs of beef and 1 lb of pork. Looks great so far.

My favorite part about meatloaf are the leftovers the next day for meatloaf sandwiches.  A little cheddar and some sourdough, I'm in heaven!  Great job, Jason, I'll have to try this one.

It was great! I love that meatloaf had a smoke ring. I made the sauce to go with it, but it was almost too rich with the sauce. You only need a little bit. My wife loved it too and she hates meatloaf. Thanks for turning me on to this.

Glad you liked it Brewcity. The sauce is really different from most you find out there. Really thin. I read some comments where other people have thickened it up with a slurry of broth and flour, but I never have. I'm like you, I just put a little bit on it. What wood did you go with?

Chris, hard to beat those leftover meatloaf sammiches. That's what I had for lunch yesterday.
