Shepherd's Meatloaf....pron

tommiegunnz · 01-30-2010, 08:34 PM

With the wife and kids gone for the weekend and not alot of time to smoke something cause of work, I figured I'd smoke up a meatloaf. Had the meat sitting in spice in the fridge last night, then I suddenly had a craving for Shepherd's pie, so I figured why not combine the two.

Well I went to check on the taters and the cold storage room floor musta gotten too cold cause the potatoes were all soft and shriveled. So instead of admit defeat I adapted, and grabbed a handfull of fries from the freezer, rolled out the ground beef, laid in the fries, scooped in some corn and figured what the hell, rolled up the loaf and set it int he fridge overnight.

Got home from work, and fired up the cooker, stoked the coals till i hit a little above 300*, made some rub and rubbed down the loaf let it sit for about a half hour, then put it in the smoker with some apple smoke.

The results, pretty darn tasty, would have prefered mashed potatoes inside, but I'd do it just like this again!!!

Hope you enjoy the pics!

That is pretty cool, and I like the mental flexibility.

If you like the potatos in the loaf try potato flakes they work really good....
