Been seeing multiple posts/recipes on here for both Meatloaf and Potatoes, especially since  @nolaegghead posted his recipe.  All I can say is wow, I will never ever make a meatloaf in the oven ever again, absolutely delicious, great smoke flavor and went great with the potatoes.  Stuffed the meatloaf with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni, and  Layered the potatoes with bacon, which always makes anything taste better.  Thanks everyone for posts on here helping me with temp/time for these cooks! Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

    Wished I had seen this post several hours ago, as I just did a meatloaf on my LBGE.  Turned out well, but yours looks great.  Were your potatoes done on the Egg, as well?

    Thanks for the compliment, first time attempting a meatloaf on the egg and it did not disappoint... I also did the potatoes on my LBGE, the egg just adds great flavor to everything.

    Meatloaf on the egg is a whole new experience isn't it? Yours looks great.

    The recipe was simple, mixed it up like an Italian meatloaf, used half beef, half ground pork mixture, mixed with 1 egg, Italian panko, parm cheese, garlic, s&p toss in any seasonings you like mix then press a hole down middle, add cheese/pepperoni and reform then the easy part is the cook on the egg

    @rmercier the temp was 350 grate level temp, cooked about 1-1.5 hours until the IT reached 160.. Came out great, very moist and extremely flavorful.. In total it was around 2lbs of a mixture of ground pork and beef.. Will totally add to my list of regular cooks.

    If you're planning to cook one good luck and post some pics !

    @Bart1434 I'm cooking one tomorrow! Did you do direct or indirect?

    @rmercier I did indirect and kept it in a shallow foil pan to collect the pan drippings, turned out to be a great idea, turned the drippings into a delicious gravy/sauce which was packed with flavor.

    @rmercier took the drippings collected in the foil pan, added about an inch thick cut of butter, melted it then added some flour and about a cup of beef stock (can store brand) and whisked together until it was the consistency I liked, just added salt and pepper to taste..slowly add the flour and cook out the flour taste, keep adding until it looks good to your liking. If you want a creamier gravy you could add some milk as well

    this is all making me super hungry, I'm down in Disney and away from my egg!
