    Do people put dry rubs on meatloaf?

    Is this a thing? Have you ever done it?

    #2
    I have used different rubs with good success. The wife usually slathers on her brown sugar, ketchup and mustard goop on it when it's done, so a rub with brown sugar works pretty good.

        I love bacon on meatloaf! On paper, it seems like too much of a good thing, but it's perfect.

      Oh yeah. I like to use Head Country or Memphis dust. Great stuff.

        Corn kernels, cheddar cheese and taco seasoning. Or, rice mixed in with steak seasoning. There are no bad meatloaves!

          Zoinks!! The package season we grew up on. That's sounds wonderful. We rarely eat the package stuff but corn and cheddar with it? I'd eat that!!

        plus bacon :-)

            Its funny you asked this. I made a smoked meatloaf this last weekend and thought about adding some rub to it as I was making it but decided not to. I can reevaluate tonight because I think the leftovers are for dinner tonight.

              I crust my meatloaf for sandwiches in butter or clarified. Add BBBR to it no matter how you regular day before meatloaf was cooked. It's truly heavenly when it's crusted with butter and season!! But of course I plan for my leftovers so..... I guess their Firstovers!

                I do, quite often... BBBR, SPG, Montreal, be my first go-to's...
                Hint: Rub th' entire loaf, before ya' plop it into yer pan, or onto yer grate, not jus' th' top...

                  I don't. There are usually plenty of herbs and spices mixed into the meat and I don't want or need another mix of stuff rubbed onto the exterior. Occasionally I'll glaze the surface with something.

                  I guess I'm one of the few that rarely places strips of bacon on a meatloaf. If I want bacon on a loaf I'll make a bacon weave and make a fattie.

                    I don't put rub on the outside, but I include some in the stuff that goes into the raw meat mixture. Just a little goes a long way for flavor.

                      I often include internal, mixed in ingredients, as well...makes fer a treat, when served.
                      I also, sometimes/often, add rub to th' exterior...
                      I, like many I have learned from, like/embrace th' 'Layers of Flavour' mentality...
                      Brine/marinade, season/rub, cook, spritz/mop, sauce/caramelize/top/finish....
                      I reckon I see a meatloaf in th' same light... a hunk of meat needin' cooked/a Tabla Rasa.
                      Reckon I've never injected one, thus far, but tomorrow is another day, God willin', an' th' crick don't rise, so who knows?
                      YMMV
                      In my experience, ain't too many Bad Ways to make a meatloaf, 'ceptin fer, mainly, undercookin' it, or overcookin' it, been' my experience, lol!

                        Yon meatloaf beckons, to rub or not to rub, that is the question. We should gather our minds and havest a poll, then rig it.
