Meatloaph - It's What's Phor Dinner

[Al Czervik]

Being a Pharker who's true to his word (https://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4673906&postcount=14) to follow is what we had Phor dinner yesterday.

We call it Primovarious Mongolian MeatloaPh Italiano...

Started with a proprietary blend of ground chuck, hot Italian sausage, pepperoni, sweet onion, yellow pepper, egg, panko, shrooms, black olives, woosty, shredded cheeses, marinara/gravy, garlic, S&P, crushed red pepper & and Italian spices...

Got the Oval cruising towards a 250 target temp...

Hucked on a couple red oak chunks from backyard trimmings once target temp was achieved...

And on goes the meatloaf...

About an hour in...

And done about 90 minutes later...

Served with a generous ladle of gravy, buttery garlic bread and Caesar salad...

My bride said it was mighty tasty with just the right balance of smoke, heat and seasonings so I'll call that a win!

Thanks for looking. :thumb:

I totally want that. Those ingredients are awesome!

 

[Stingerhook]

You now have delicious sandwiches for a week Scott.

 

[Gore]

That's a work of art!

 

[Tango Joe]

That looks amazing. Superb list of ingredients!

Ditto the compliments above. Question - did you have a choice between using mod 'ed aluminum pan vs aluminum foil? If so, why choice of pan? Is it easier to pick it up after smoking?

 

[Maylar]

Ingenious use of a foil pan there too.

 

[bluetang]

That’s seriously righteous!

 

[bowhnter]

Dude, that looks seriously good.
I bet the pepperoni addition, besides flavor, adds some good moisture.

Old, wtf…lol

That Looks and Sounds Fantastic :thumb:

Thanks for the kind words, gang. It's one of those scratch recipes that's been modified and tweaked over the years that my wife really enjoys.

The addition of pepperoni was fairly recent, and does provide a nice flavor, texture and moisture boost. The modified foil pan hack was inspired by ease of handling concerns plus providing more surface area for smoke absorption.

Looks great.
I wonder if a low sided sheet pan would also work?

 

[BackYardRob]

All the compliments are very well deserved! Great job!

 

[Al Czervik]

Looks great.
I wonder if a low sided sheet pan would also work?

Thanks… I’m sure a low sided sheet pan would work even better. I’ve had my eyes on one my wife uses for baking desserts, but know better than even asking to use it on the grill.

That's a No-Joke Meatloaf right there!

 

[cowgirl]

Outstanding meatloaf, Scott!! Looks and sounds delicious!

 

[ssv3]

I’d definitely hit Dat!! :nod:

 

[TravelingJ]

Love the idea! Looks great. I made a slew of them today, and they are all a bit crumbly :x not sure what exactly I need to change for that one.

 

[Inthewoods]

That's f'ing lovely...

-D

 

[SmokinAussie]

Again.. I want this one.

I'm laying out my chili with taco's, guac, sour cream, shredded cheese, corn chips. It's all there.

I want MEATLOAF!
