Today's Meatloaf (my own concoction)

[Deer Meat]

It has been way to long since I have done a meatloaf, so here it goes here is the recipe that I have come up with.

Recipe:

3# of 80/20 ground beef
1# sage sausage
1 cup chopped onion (1 medium onion)
4 cloves fresh garlic, finely chopped
2 Tblsp. worcestershire sauce
1 pkg. lipton soup mix
1 16oz. can French's french fried onions (crushed)
2 eggs lightly beaten
1 cup bread crumbs (I use 4-C bread crumbs)
½cup brown sugar (packed)
1 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper



This made a 6# loaf, I may split this into two loaves. What do you think?

I'd split it into 2 loaves. Sounds like it is going to be some tastey stuff. Let us know how it comes out... don't forget the pics.

 

[Deer Meat]

I think I will split it in half, that only means twice the smoke ring......correct

I am going to get the loaves smokin as soon as my Canadian Bacon comes out. Which is wright around the corner.

There will be Q-view to follow.

Yepper defenitly 2 loafs..... one for just you and one for me, let me know when they're done. Thanks for the recipe. That's another reason I like fourm. I must have 4 or 5 recipes for meat loaf. so even though I'm smoking a meat loaf again, it won't be the same.

Looks great and sounds great.

Two things I have gotten hooked on, since joining the forum is Meatloaf and ABT's. A zillion ways to do both so you never get bored.

I think I will try your recipe next.

Thanks, Skip

Here is the meatloaf cut in half and reformed. They have been in the smoke for about 1½ hrs.

This is what we all like...............the Q-view




While I was at it I decided to try something different with a fattie, instead of just tossing a plain one in the smoker. I mixed 2 Jim dean Maple fatties together, rolled flat and placed some mozzarela cheese inside.

Here it is ready to roll back into a fattie



Here is the custom monster fattie, next to a bone stock fattie.




More Q-view is in the near future.....stay tuned.

Brian, isn't it funny how big they get after you add just a little bit of extra's. Sometimes it looks like they turn into a skinny meatloaf.

 

[Deer Meat]

I know what you mean Michael, My wife walked in the kitchen, and said......what....the....hell....... is that thing. Once I explained she was excited to taste it.

Looks great, will be interested in the taste test and how you time travel, your already smokin tomorrow

 

[Deer Meat]

I know blackhawk, everytime I fix the date in my camera it is always a day fast the next time I turn it on.

Looks good Brian. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

 

[cowgirl]

Yeah...what Ron said.

Looks great! Can't wait for the finished pictures.

 

[Deer Meat]

Here is the Q-view





Sorry for the hazy looking pictures, We were to hungry to mess around....if you know what I mean.

 

[Deer Meat]

Now the fatties are done.




I only posted Q-view of the custom monster fattie......we all have seen a normal everyday plain fattie before

Enjoy

 

[blackhawk19]

All I can say is WOW!!!

 

[richoso1]

I love the components, I'm sure it will be a tasty treat for the lucky ones.

Brian,

Love the Q-view! Food looks awesome. Did you rub the fattie or just smoke it plain. Nice job!

 

[Deer Meat]

mj, the fatties were plain no rub.

 

[hawgheaven]

Brian, nice looking 'Q... I can smell it from here!
