Can You Smoke It?

To that, in Andy's world, the answer is always yes. To be fair, though, we've really only had one thing that didn't turn out so great...Stick with the grill or indoors for asparagus...It tastes like ashes on a smoker. Stuffed mushrooms, though, two thumbs WAY UP on the smoker!

Once upon a time, probably during the summer, the topic came up of smoking a meatloaf. I can't remember now how it came up, but we Googled it to see if it had been done. Of course, it had. We decided to do it at some point, and left it at that.

A few nights ago, I suggested to Andy that we buy some ground beef to keep on hand. It's not something either of us love but it can be cooked straight from the freezer for quick meals if you haven't planned ahead. Much to my surprise, when he ran to the store that night for something specific he brought some home. 3 whole pounds, easily enough for 3-4 meals with leftovers!

....and then promptly proceeded to turn all 3 pounds of it into a meatloaf to be smoked.

Smoked Meatloaf

The good news is, even though he fell asleep and it cooked 2 hours longer than intended, it was pretty damn good.
