thanks for looking

Don't know if this qualifies. Now, the major ingredients were smoked over lump and hickory, but before the start date of this TD. However, the meal was prepared yesterday, so I think I'm OK, after being confused, by reading the TD rules...at any rate, I present to you, #Hashtag Brisket.

I am pretty sure there is precedent to support that, but why don't we wait until the end of voting to get a ruling.

My official entry...

Step one, read the farking special rules. Step two, read them again.

Here are the players. Home ground meat -- a half pound of ground chuck, and a half pound of ground rib flaps. That's what you can do with the flaps when you trim down for St. Louis style ribs.



The potatoes were a couple of big russets, throughly washed, skins left on.

I mixed the beef and pork with a diced onion, a couple of eggs, some salt, pepper and garlic, bread crumbs, and some fresh thyme from the backyard garden. Then I formed a loaf and stuck it into the fridge to firm up.



I stuck the meatloaf on the 18.5 OTG indirect -- about 350-375. I used pecan wood chunks for the smoke.



I cut up the potatoes, and boiled them in some seasoned water. I thought about boiling them on my SJG, but figured that potatoes boiled on a grill would taste just like potatoes boiled on a farking stove. I hope the meat loaf will fulfill the "cooked on a grill or smoker" rule all by itself.



Okay, watch what I do here. I'm thinking, "What can I do to make my always good mashed potatoes better?"

Well, duh, add BACON!

Potatoes, butter, milk, garlic, salt, pepper -- and diced farking BACON.



I made some brown gravy with butter and the bacon fat.

Here is the cooked meatloaf -- my best yet. Rib flaps make great ground pork. The meatloaf was really moist. The fresh thyme rocked -- subtle but definitely identifiable.



And here is how it all ended up on the plate. Nothin' but meat and potatoes, with some meat IN the potatoes.



It really was my best meatloaf so far, and bacon mashed potatoes -- a last minute alteration - are stupid good. High in calories, high in carbs, high in fat -- a coronary trifecta!

First, I'm assuming that this is an entry, but you didn't say that it was. :-D

Second, please pick a picture. It's your entry, so please don't put that responsibility on Moose and me.

Yep, I knew I would screw this up.

Yessir, it is my entry.

I guess #2 will work for the official entry. :becky: Or whichever.

Homemade ham and scalloped taters

My entry for the "meat and potatoes TD".
This was a fun cook, and turned out quite good for a first attempt at ham.

A quick shot of the ham

And this next one for my entry shot......

It was great fun.

Thanks all

I am assuming Sweet Potatoes qualify as a 'potato'. I don't eat 'normal' potatoes.

This is my entry to this throw down. Ribeye steak with loaded mashed potatoes.

Damn if I can find fault with that. :thumb::thumb:

I also have been bereft of comment in this thread, so I'll just say, EVERYTHING entered so far has really impressed me.
