Hankering for Meatloaf

Griffin

The sun came out Sunday in our lil part of Texas and I knew I wanted to fire up the Egg. Couldn't think of what to do, until I remembered @platypusrex post about meatloaf last week and suddenly I had a hankering. Thanks for the inspiration. I really need to start visiting this site more again as lately I need that inspiration as I can never think of what to cook.

After suggesting meatloaf to my wife, she said we should do "that 1770 House Meatloaf" that you used to make me. It's an Ina Garten recipe and it does not feature a ketchup or bbq sauce base topping, but rather a garlic butter herb sauce. We haven't done it in forever.

Egg lit and setup indirect at 400F using our Flame Boss 100 so I could help watch Duke and do other things. One small chunk of hickory as ground beef absorbs smoke like a sponge.



Almost done. Took a little over an hour. Wasn't really paying attention to time. Just pulled it at 155.


Served it with some mashed taters and some sprouts that I whipped up along with a Summer Fest ale. Pretty darn good eats.

Thanks for the inspiration @platypusrex .

Now you need to pull out the white bread, tomato, lettuce, and the mayo with the same name as your son and you good to go today too. Nice cook and glad to see you on here

I wish I could have 155f meatloaf - my wife can't eat meatloaf until it surrenders all of its liquid.
She wants her burgers medium pink, but not meatloaf.

This looks really good to me, do I see celery? What other veggies you got in there? I usually throw in a couple spoons of vegetable soup mix, try to avoid the little square dried taters.

Nice loaf of meat you got there, Griefin'becauseIain'tfromSC.    Agree with @Chubbs about the meatloaf sammich and Duke's mayo.  Capt John Derst has the best bread IMHO. 

Griffin

There was celery and onion as well as fresh parsley (should have been Italian but its what we had in the garden), thyme and chives. 2 lbs beef, 1 lb pork, eggs, milk and panko.

Griffin

Thanks @Chubbs. Today its just meatloaf and taters, tomorrow the sandwich.

@Griffin Looks great. Next time try adding a little Dill for a nice flavor kick.

Dang that looks good! May have to try this version as the garlic sounds great. I have done Bobby Flay's roasted vegetable with a balsamic ketchup sauce and its wonderful.

This is great stuff, wife was just talking about making meatloaf and I told her we should do it on the egg. Her response was "we can do that?". Yes dear, yes we can.

Griffin

Wait till you tell her you can do pies or cookies or bread @jonnymack .

I don't know if I'm there yet!!  

Griffin

Sure you are @jonnymack If you can cook it in the oven, you can do it on the Egg. Give it a try.

@Griffin Great looking cook, and glad you got inspired. That garlic butter herb sauce sounds intriguing, will have to try that. Cheers!
