Yesterday was Super Bowl Sunday and most were cooking for
the day or having parties watching the game. I never got into watching sports
so to me it was just another Sunday but warm enough to get out on the smoker to
cook.
I was ready for a meatloaf and the wife loves Rueben
sandwiches so decided to make a Rueben meatloaf. I had made a sauerkraut
meatloaf before but wanted some more seasoning and ingredients to make it taste more like a
Rueben.
I looked at 4 or 5 recipes and the one I made was a mix of
some of the ingredients and adapted it to do on my pellet grill. I smoked 1 ½ pounds
of my butchers smoked sausage to use in some red beans and rice later.
I made up the meatloaf and in the fridge for a few hours
before cooking. I was having some spaetzel fried in butter and some red beets
for sides. Before I started cooking the son stopped in and wanted to borrow
some space heaters, their furnace went out and wouldn't get fixed until today.
I had two to give him and said for his wife and son to come stay the night with
us and could eat supper with us if they wanted to.
They came down and I was getting it all together and the can
of red beets were bad so threw them out and grabbed some frozen white shoe peg
corn to fix quickly. Later I thought corn was not a great choice to have with
kraut but it tasted good! The spaetzel cooked and then fried in some butter to
get a little crispy was good.
My mostly veggie daughter in law even ate a big piece of the
meatloaf and said it was good. I knew my wife liked it when she said I will eat
that again tomorrow night. Usually she does not like to eat the same thing two
days in a row. They both said it did taste like a Rueben. I thought it was good
but not my favorite meatloaf. Makes sense; I am not crazy about Ruebens.
