Meat Loaf

[johnsbrewhouse]

geraldr622 never tried it, always panko crumbs. Don’t see why it wouldn’t work. You might have to adjust some flavors.

My wife uses Ritz crackers, but I wonder what it would do to the density of the meat, would it still be fluffy if you will…

[Jonathon]

geraldr622 It is not a dumb question at all! Yes, it works for sure, it works well imitation bacon and that is a loaf so it will work with that too. Crumbs and oat meal are optional at that point.

geraldr622 Not a dumb question, I never thought of doing that. Probably will get a lot of others in this group thinking about it and trying it. That is why I like this group so much information that I haven’t thought about and new ideas to try.

HerbcoFood my wife used Cheez-its, once. It wasn’t awful.

[Chef]

Jonesy moral to that story, never let your wife in the kitchen.

[bocephus]

Jonesy Doesn’t even sound good at all.

[GWG8541]

Jonesy I’ve smoked Cheez-its before and they were good. Id have to reserve judgment until I have tried it.

[Jonathon]

Ummmm Jonesy is saying it WASN"T awful guys…it doesnt sound bad to me either, especially if it was the Franks Red Hot ones…it might not be Franks Red Hot it might have been Buffalo ones, but either way it sounds not bad at all!

[bocephus]

Jonathon Nothing against Jonesy sounds like a great guy, just don’t like cheezits, brother and brother in law put them in chili, tried that once but only once.

[HerbcoFood]

bocephus Cheez-Its in chili…that’s isn’t right at all ever, no heck no, not up in here!

[bocephus]

HerbcoFood I agree with you, must be a southern thing, they both live in Tenn.

[HerbcoFood]

bocephus I guess, never heard of such nonsense, I am also strict NO beans in chili guy as well.

[bocephus]

HerbcoFood I could deal with the beans but definitely not cheez-its

Jonathon
You know this got me thinking. I have a large jar of Frank’s red hot powder that might be interesting to add to sausage or snack sticks. Curious if anybody else has ever added it or even the Frank’s red hot sauce to anything worthwhile.

Addendum: just found your post from 2019.

[Ridley Acres]

hmm, cheez-its in chili…not sure about that one

[GWG8541]

HerbcoFood what about Frito’s?

[bocephus]

GWG8541 Known as a frito pie here, pretty popular.

[HerbcoFood]

GWG8541 Frito pie is good stuff.

[Jonathon]

Surg I have done this before. Sadly I don’t think the powder works terribly well for snack sticks. It just doesn’t seem to come through very strongly. It works well when added to marinades though so it should work, probably just have to hit a sweet spot with amount.

Also, that powder is crazy good on freshly buttered popcorn!
