    I cook this one quite often.

    QBabe's Cherry Smoked Meatloaf

    Ingredients:
    1 lb ground beef
    1/2 lb ground pork
    1 cup italian bread crumbs
    2/3 cup milk
    1 Clove garlic, crushed
    1 egg
    1 small onion, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
    1 Tbs Worchestershire sauce
    1 1/2 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp dry mustard
    1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
    1/4 tsp sage
    3/4 tsp Dizzy Pig Cowlick Steak Rub
    Ketchup, for brushing

    Preparation Directions:
    1 Preheat cooker to 350° with indirect setup.
    2 Add cherry wood (I use several large chunks).
    3 Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
    4 Shape mixture into a loaf and put into an ungreased loaf pan, 9x5x3 inches.
    5 Brush top with ketchup and sprinkle with more Cowlick Rub.
    Cooking Directions:
    1 Once cooker is stable, place meatloaf into egg and cook for 1.5 hours until done.
    2 When meatloaf is done, remove from loaf pan and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

    Ain’t Momma’s Meat Loaf
    By Scott Borders (Borders)
    This meat loaf is an all time favorite at the Borders' house. The recipe I used at the Florida Egg Fest
    comes from the book "Smoke & Spice" by Jamison, with a few small modifications. If you're
    going to do this, I suggest you make 2 or 3 loafs, and "food saver" slices for later use.
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1/2 cup minced onion
    1/2 yellow bell pepper--or any color, finely chopped
    3 garlic cloves minced
    1 teaspoon black pepper
    1 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 1/4 pounds ground sirloin
    3/4 pounds ground pork
    1 1/2 cups plain dry bread crumbs
    3 tablespoons sour cream
    2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    1 large egg
    1/4 cup beef stock
    2 teaspoons Tabasco
    1. Sauté the onion, bell pepper, garlic, pepper, salt and cumin in the oil 'til the onions and bell
    pepper are soft.
    2. Pour the vegetable/spice mixture into a large bowl, add the remaining ingredients and mix
    thoroughly with your hands.
    3. Place in a greased loaf plan, and chill.
    The Cook:
    Heat your Egg to 250 dome, with an indirect set up. Add a small handful of Mesquite chips and put
    loaves on for 1 hour.
    After cooking in the loaf pan for one hour, the loaf should be firmed up. Take the pan out, pour off
    the liquid, and carefully take loaf out of pan. Place loaf back in Egg, and cook until internal temp of
    165-170. This usually takes about 2 1/2 hours.
    From time to time, I'll add more chips when I take the loaf out of the pan to hit the newly exposed
    outside to some smoke. I did not do this at the Fest.

    good! I realize you can't get one by tonight, but if you plan to egg meat loafs in the future I'd highly recommend one of these wire mesh meatloaf baskets. It allows you to smoke the loaf far better than in a pan.

    I like that pan, but I just unmold mine on a baking sheet a la Alton Brown's meatloaf episode.

    Probably late for dinner again. Here is one I like to do.

    Meatloaf, Richard Fl

    I do them on the small indirect at 325-350F about an hour pulled around 150F.


    100_1936.jpg



    Meatloaves
    2 Lbs. Ground Chuck
    2 Lbs. Ground Round
    3 Whole Eggs
    1 Large Vidalia Onion, Chopped Medium
    10-15 Saltine Crackers, Crushed
    1/2-3/4 Cup Spicy Ketchup
    1/2-3/4 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
    2-3 Tbs. Dijon Mustard
    1-2 Cups Pepper Ridge Farms Herbed Seasoning Stuffing
    1-1 1/2 Pkg. Lipton Onion Soup Mix
    Coarse Peppermill Black Pepper, to taste
    3-4 Strips Bacon, Optional
    Favorite Cheese, Optional
    Sauce, 1 Meatloaf
    1 Cup Spicy Ketchup
    1/4 Cup Dijon Mustard
    1/2-3/4 Cup Brown Sugar, Packed
    2-3 Tbs. Balsamic Vinegar
    1 Cup Parmesan Cheese, Grated
    Ground Pepper to taste




    Procedure:
    1 The meat recipe makes 2 nice 10 inch diameter loaves and they are about 1 1/2 - 2 inches thick. The sauce is for one meatloaf. The meat recipe may be halved or the other loaf frozen, which is what I do. Sometimes I will place some cheese slices in the middle of the meat and make a big cheeseburger.
    2 When mixing the meat and other ingredients, mix about 1/3 saltine crackers and 2/3 Pepper Ridge stuffing, do in 1/4 -1/2 cup portions so as not to dry out the mixture.
    3 If using the bacon, lay on top of loaf after the sauce has been added this allows the bacon to get crispy.. I cook over a rack that has a grease catch pan underneath and there by avoid having to deal with removing the grease from a normal loaf pan.
    4 I like the sauce to be thick, if necessary thin with water or more vinegar. Slather all over! Nice to have a little sauce left over, to serve with. Play with the ratios of ketchup and mustard until you reach a point that makes you happy. Enjoy!!


    Yield: 2-2 Pound Loaves

  • I just made a pair of good ones the other day, from Qbabe's Cherry Smoked Meatloaf recipe in the Cookbook section here. I've got pics, but haven't loaded them to Photobucket yet.

    It was really good.
