Рецепт Bleu Meatloaf
This is Alton Brown's GoodEats Meatloaf with a few twists.
I cut back on the thyme and added 4 ounces of crumbled Gorgonzola (use Bleu Cheese if you like more 'bleu'). And then, I smoked it in my WSM. or, one can use indirect method on the grill but be sure to use a mild smoke wood. I like maple or apple.
Ингредиенты
- 6 ounces garlic-flavored croutons
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (cut back on thyme by half ///kwh)
- 1/2 onion, roughly chopped
- 1 carrot, peeled and broken
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 18 ounces ground chuck
- 18 ounces ground sirloin
- 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 egg
Инструкции

- 2. In a food processor bowl, combine croutons, black pepper, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and thyme. Pulse until the mixture is of a fine texture. Place this mixture into a large bowl.
- 3. Combine the onion, carrot, garlic, and red pepper in the food processor bowl. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped, but not pureed.

Insert a temperature probe at a 45 degree angle into the top of the meatloaf. Avoid touching the bottom of the tray with the probe. Set the probe for 155 degrees.
