Meatloaf with mushroom sauce and roasted smashed potatoes.


Most of the players.

I mixed up 2 pounds of ground beef and 1 pound of pork with some onion powder, 2 eggs, 20 crushed up saltines, 1 tablespoon of soileaus seasoning and some black pepper.

Mixed up and formed with a couple slices of green pepper on top. Into the MAK at 380 burning a 50/50 mix of oak and wine soaked oak BBQ delight pellets. This is going to cook for an hour or until 165 degrees.

While the meatloaf was smoking I got the mushrooms washed and sliced and made the sauce. I also boiled the potatoes until almost done. I chopped up a fresh sprig of rosemary for the sauce as well. I used beef broth, heavy cream, salt and pepper, rosemary, whole wheat flour and mushrooms in the sauce.

Once the meatloaf was done I put it in the sauce, spooned some sauce on top then put it back into the Mack for about 45 minutes.

I smashed the potatoes and seasoned them with salt and pepper and those went into the MAK as well to get brown and crispy.

After awhile here is the flipage of the taters. These need another 20-30 minutes.

Everything is about done so I put in some dinner rolls.

One word to describe this..delicious!
It would be just as good without the mushrooms too i think. The meatloaf held together good and wasn't dry or crumbly at all and had a great smoke flavor. The potatoes were tasty and a nice change from mashed potatoes. the wife loved it even with the soileaus in the meatloaf...there's hope for her yet!

Thanks for looking!

Thanks Muebe and Rick.

What's weird is the wife picked up on the Cajun seasoning right away but not the rosemary. I could smell and taste the rosemary but not really the soileaus. I only put in 1 tablespoon.. Shows how people taste differently.

KILLER! It looks almost like meatloaf stroganoff. Those smashed taters look mighty fine too, and are now on my list!
