4 cloves my garlic.................... 1/3 pound mozzerela
2 tablespoons worchestshire....... 1/3 pound provolone
1/4 cup red wine
1/4 cup reduced tomato sauce


Mixed it up and let absorb in fridge few hours







Rolled out and added cheese








Came up with this to smoke it on








Ready for smoker.Used small chunk pecan,red oak,cherry









Had some fresh pulled beets and steamed/boiled













Reduced some of my canned tomatoes and added tomato paste and garlic then coated meatloaf for last 20 minutes


All done-someone said it smelled smokey like my ribs

Great job Alex!
I had hated meatloaf for a long time due to, well childhood experiences with it and never ate it since. About a year ago I figured I would try smoking one and it turns out it was great!
Only tried it the one time but after looking at your post I see another meatloaf smoke in the near future.
