What are meatloaf shots?
Inspired by the pig shots appetizers, we made hollowed out potatoes and filled them with ground beef meatloaf mixture and grilled them. Hearty enough for a main course or serve as a fun appetizer.
Ingredients for Meatloaf Shots:
- Russet Potatoes – medium to small size
- Ground Beef – We used 70/30
- Diced Onions
- Large Eggs
- Steak Rub: Brown Sugar, Granulated Garlic, Kosher Salt, Black Pepper, Dried Thyme, Chili Powder, Smoked Paprika
- Olive Oil
Hot to Make Meatloaf Shots:
- Scrub potatoes and place in a pan and cover with cold water.
- Parboil potatoes, by bringing to a boil and cooking about 8 – 10 minutes.
- Drain potatoes and cool slightly.
- Cut the ends off of the potatoes, about 1 1/2 inches off of each end.
- Using a small knife, cut the center of the potatoes out, creating a tube.
- Set aside and reserve the discarded ends and center of potatoes to make hash browns or add to soup.
- Mix up the meatloaf. Add ground beef, eggs and steak rub to a large bowl. Mix together with your hands or with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined.
- Stuff the meatloaf mixture into the potatoes, filling top to bottom and rounded up a bit on the top.
- Spray the outsides of potatoes with olive oil. Place on a grill pan.
- Cook over indirect fire on a 350° grill with the lid closed for about 35 – 40 minutes.
- Check internal temperature of meatloaf, cooking until it reaches 165°.
- Remove from grill and serve immediately.
- Serve with BBQ Sauce or Honey Mustard if desired.
How to Store and Reheat:
Store leftover meatloaf shots in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
Reheat in a 350° oven for about 12 – 15 minutes or in an air fryer at 350° for about 4- 5 minutes.
