Smoked Hatch Chili Meatloaf
« on: August 10, 2015, 07:39:22 AM »
3 pounds of hamburger, eggs, panko bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce , salt , pepper , onions , garlic , ketchup.

To that I added cooked bacon , hatch chilis , cayenne pepper.




Mixed up a pack of Idahoan instant potatoes ( baby red ) and to that I added fresh garlic,  about 3 cloves, salt and pepper . I don't cook these instant potatoes as directed on the package, merely use hot tap water, mix in the spuds and use them.


Press out your hamburger mixture to about a 1" thickness all around , make a pocket in the burger for the potatoes to go .


Spread the spuds around leaving a seam of burger to seal the edges .


It's best to do this on some sprayed foil to make sealing the meatloaf easier and I like to start the cook of the meatloaf in the foil as well to minimize some  the grease dripping into the grill .



I set the grill up for about 350 and smoked the loaves with a small piece of apple and hickory woods for about an hour , I glazed the chili loaf with an apricot jalapeņo jelly at the end .




The hatch chili flavor really took this meatloaf to a new level and the jelly glaze was a great compliment to the heat .

Like the idea of the potato's in the middle to keep everything moist. When I see a meatloaf I picture the grilled cheese the next day. Drool.

That's funny. 

Your wife is a trooper for surviving a 3 day green chili binge!

I am going to steal your meatloaf idea and use it as the center of the most delicious fatty ever cooked.  I think substituting the bacon in the mix with a bacon wrap would just be heavenly.
