Meat Loaf help...

LMAJ · Nov 25, 2007

Hello all...
Looking for time and temp for meat loaf -
Doing ground chuck and sausage - thoughts??

Will post pics later of the cook - Thanks.

I love meatloaf...you will be hooked...just a warning. I like to cook my loaf at 300-350. At 120 internal or so I will put on a ketcup baste w/ a lil brownsugar and BBQ sauce...then cook internal till 160 and pull.

gpalasz · Nov 25, 2007

oh...about 1.5 hours or so...of coarse depends on your temps

heres a link that was helpful for my first loaf...just tweeked it up to my liking though, keep us posted

I did mine on a Weber, about 2 hours, at 300*, I believe it was around 160* ...really good, Try doing stuffed burgers...very good!

BTW, in the other thread you mentioned "Beef and Guiness" What is that?

I found it posted in the recipe section when I was looking for meat loaf info - but I also saw a thread by CarbonToe - http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33876
It reminded me of a meat and mushroom pie with a horseradish sauce I had recently andreally liked.

Thanks for the info guys - appreciate it.

If you've got sausage in it, I'd take it a little higher than if it were beef alone. I'm thinking 170 or so.

i call em super fatties and do em just like a fattie
250 for about 3 hours till 170 internal

:biggrin:

Looks good Rick - do you saute your veggies first?

i didn't on those but you could. i think there's only some onion and cracker crumbs in there and some cheese and half hamburger, half pork sausage.

i put em on the grid with a drip pan underneath so they aren't boiling in their own fat. should be a bit healthier that way

i haven't done those in a long time... but now i want to!

rick you had me when i saw the bacon topping. great loooooking food. i think i'm getting the shakesss. great job:-D

gpalasz · Nov 25, 2007

I chop up an onion is mine as well. There is no need to saute first. They will cook inside the loaf. I dont like raw onion, and youd think they were sauted after the loaf is done

JeffW · Nov 25, 2007

I just use a box of Lipton Onion Soup Mix and cook till internal reaches 160. First hour is in a pan. after that I take it out and just keep smokin.

LMAJ · Nov 25, 2007

OK - the loaf just went on - 2 lbs chuck and 1 lb mild pork sausage. Diced onion and celery, some garlic powder, mustard.
Topped it with some of my brisket rub.
Also put on a big sweet onion - peeled it, scored it, some brisket rub (keeping with a theme here) and topped with a few pats of butter... only wish I had some bacon a al Rick....

gpalasz · Nov 25, 2007

sounds good. There will be a lot of flavor, you prob wont even miss the bacon.

Rick's Tropical Delight · Nov 25, 2007

more healtly without the bacon and you won't miss it as gpalasz said.

rick bacon is no good anyway :biggrin:

LMAJ · Nov 25, 2007

All right - have a few new additions to the dinner menu...
The meat loaf was really good - should have pulled it a little sooner but good none the less. The onion was quite tasty. I added a little mac & cheese to round out the comfort food plate.

Thanks for all the info guys -

keale · Nov 25, 2007

I wish I had that for dinner! Nice job... That Mac and cheese looks great! Is that from "americas test kitchen?"

Nope - it's from my butcher.... I don't usually make home made M&C - I have learned there are things I am just not good at so I focus on other things... M&C is on my "I'm no good at list" - right up there with potato salad. Go figure...

LMAJ, besides a great looking meatloaf and M&C your choice of beer is aces in my book:icon_bigsmil
