I've heard of people using mushroom soup for meatloaf gravy, but never about using it in the meatloaf. However, google is my friend. Here is a recipe that does use mushroom soup in the meatloaf: https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/souper-meat-loaf Perhaps if you compare it to your recipe, you'll see where the problem is.

Thanks! I think I may be putting too much soup in the mix. I'll probably try again sometime this next week.
BTW, people were talking before about mashed potatoes and my mother and grandmother almost always served mashed potatoes with their meatloaf and for some reason peas. Invariably I'd mix the three things together as I was eating. The meat and potatoes especially just really complement one another in some way.

Actually, in the UK where Shepherd's pie originates, it is only made with lamb or mutton (hence the name, Shepherd). What we call Shepherd's pie i.e. made with beef, is called Cottage pie in the UK. Somehow we lost the Cottage and kept the Shepherd, perhaps because raising sheep wasn't popular in early America. So your pie will be authentically, Shepherd's pie.

You can smoke anything to "just smoked"and freeze it to use in other dishes later to finish off the cooking so it doesnt fall apart.
I always smoke pork chops and chicken pieces/halves to fully cooked.
220-250F for 3-4 hours for pork chops and pices depending on the thickness or if they are boneless or bone-in and maybe an hour longer for chicken halves. You'll know when, the chickens get the golden color.
Smoked chicken and smoked turkey neck/ gizzard gumbo will make you slap yo mama!
Use large Tom Turkey necks cut in 3-4inch pieces.
I like a turkey neck/chicken gizzard gumbo with fresh necks and a few smoked necks mixed in. The fresh necks get so tender the meat will fall off the bone and yo just put dat big neck in yo mouth and suck the meat right out the bone. A smoked neck will be tender too, but a little firmer. They really add the flavor.
This is a great seasoning if any one wants to try it. I wasn't joking earlier.
