When I got the ground meat for the meatballs I got enough for a meatloaf too. As cold as it was today, 64, chili would have tasted good but I had some carrots, celery and potatoes that needed used.
At noon today I got a chicken spatchcocked and in a brine to do tomorrow and then made up the meatloaf. It went into the fridge until supper time.
At 5:00 the meatloaf went on my Traeger at 200 deg. I had figured it would be done at 6:30. I peeled, cut up some potatoes, and boiled them for 10 minutes. I coated them with butter and seasoning then on the smoker for the last hour. Just before I added the potatoes I started easing the temp up but I was too slow getting it up to 300 deg. so it took another 15 minutes for the meatloaf.
When the meatloaf was about up to temp I went inside and made my gravy, a packet of Pioneer brand Country Gravy. I turned the oven on for the rolls and had a package of peas in the microwave to nuke.
When the meatloaf was done took it and the potatoes inside, popped the rolls in the oven and cooked the peas.
I served the wife and me but she didn’t have any gravy, doesn’t know what is good! The meatloaf was good enough I will write up the recipe.
Note: Hub more gravy was added after the above pic. I wanted all to see the food and especially wanted muebe and Pappy to see their favorite veggie!
