Looking for a solid meatloaf recipe

BigGreenBamaGriller

I have some people coming over tomorrow night. Gonna make on the egg: mac & cheese, cornbread, kale greens, and roasted red potatoes. 

I bought 1.5 lbs of ground chuck and 1.5 lbs of ground pork. I want to make a meatloaf on the egg for the first time and am looking for a good recipe.

Thanks in advance!

I have used this recipe several times and been very happy with the results. http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1140974/more-smoked-meatloaf#latest

I learned to make my meatloaf from one of my Wife's Polish aunts.  The Poles use beef, pork and veal, also known as the Holy Trinity to the Italians for their meatballs.  You can add whatever ingredients you desire along with the basics of salt, pepper, and garlic.  I like to add Pine Nuts, finely diced celery and carrot as well.  Where I come from ketchup is never an option for meatloaf.

I use Big T's recipe:

The third version of such to be exact.  Smoked on the BGE in a loaf pan, this recipe is dang good.  Also Big T is a poster on this board

It doesn't count as an official BGE meatloaf unless you wrap it in bacon!

Check out Griffin site, he has a killer recipe for. 1770 House meatloaf.

Look at small mounds wrapped in bacon and rubbed with BBQ sauce / bigger than meatball size like muffin (spelling?) size. What ever cook w/o pan so all sides get the good crust.

Alton Brown has a really good recipe.  We don't add the carrots however.  He also has a nice glaze to go with it (part of the recipe).  Cooking it on the egg w/ smoke makes it amazing.

Looks like I've got a lot of recipes to try this year.

tgeklman - I have all of AB's books and couldn't find this recipe in them. I must've overlooked it...

Leave out the breadcrumbs, add more eggs to any meatloaf recipe and it will be more solid.
