Grilled Meatloaf

Meat Loaf

Meatloaf has a bad reputation for being a boring centerpiece to an excruciatingly dull meal. This is at least in part because cooks did not think outside the box. In fact, most cooks were probably so grateful to find a good meatloaf recipe that they just prepared it exactly the same, every time.

Not this time. This meatloaf is like every happy taste you may have ever experienced in each wonderful bite. The recipe is for a huge holiday get-together, not an evening at home with the family. This is a whole lot of food.

Tastiest Grilled Meatloaf Ever

What You Need:

3-4 sausages in casing 1/4 pound bacon 8 oz sliced mushrooms 1 red bell pepper, sliced 1 green bell pepper, sliced 1/2 Vidalia onion, sliced 5 pounds fresh ground hamburger seasoning to taste (salt, pepper, garlic) 1 1/2 cups BBQ sauce (or ketchup, or salsa) 8 oz shredded cheese

Optional:

Pepperoni Jalapenos Pineapple rings Anything you would find appealing or interesting

How To Make It:

Get your coals started, and down to an even heat of 325°. Preheat your cast iron skillet over the coals. When it is ready, remove the sausage from the casing, and add it, along with the bacon, to the skillet.

When the meat is no longer pink, add the mushrooms, peppers, and onion. Stir fry until they are no longer crisp. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside. By now, your heat is probably dropping to 300° or so, and that is fine. You just do not want it to go any lower than 250°.

Use a high-sided cookie sheet for the ground beef. Season it, and then shape it into a loaf that covers the cookie sheet, leaving roughly 1/2 to 1" on all sides. The meat will probably be 1 to 1 1/2" high.

Cover the meat with your favorite sauce, then the cheese. Finally, add the optional toppings.

Remove the rack, and push the coals to one side. Add some hard wood, fruit is a good choice.

Replace the rack, and place the meatloaf on the side opposite the coals. Cover the grill, and let cook for 20-25 minutes.

Remove the lid, and use a turkey baster to remove excess fat. Turn the pan 180°, and cook for another 20-25 minutes.

Let the dish sit for ten minutes before cutting and serving. Recommended serving size is 3" squares. You can serve it as meatloaf, or on a hamburger bun.
