"WHAT YOU GOT" MEATLOAF ON THE GRILL



Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 cup ketchup
1/3 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider or sherry vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds ground meat (I'm using beef)
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 cup peeled and grated onion (I'm using yellow)
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon spice mix (I'm using Old Bay)
5 shakes Worcestershire sauce
2 large eggs, beaten
1 head roasted garlic, mashed, recipe follows
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces smoked sausage (I'm using kielbasa), optional
3 heads garlic
3 teaspoons olive oil

Steps:

  • For the glaze: In a medium bowl, add the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven or grill to 375 degrees F. If using a gas grill, set to medium heat on one side and low on the other side. If using a charcoal grill, bank medium-hot coals on one side of the grill.
  • Prepare your pan: Line a baking sheet with foil if using an oven. If grilling, gather a sturdy grilling tray, disposable foil pan or some sheets of foil.
  • In a large bowl, add the meat, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, cayenne, paprika, Old Bay, Worcestershire sauce, eggs and garlic. Mix the ingredients thoroughly and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Put the meat mixture on the prepared tray. Form the meat into a loaf around the kielbasa, if using, so the sausage is sealed inside. Spread the glaze over the top. Bake in the oven or on the cooler side of the grill, covered, until cooked through and the glaze is sticky, about 1 hour.
  • Serve with potatoes or a side salad or use on a sandwich.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Remove the outer papery skin from the garlic, then cut 1/4 inch off the top of each head. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over each head of garlic, then wrap each head in foil. Seal the foil packets and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Roast until completely soft and caramelized, about 1 hour. Allow to cool slightly.
  • When cool enough to handle, squeeze the garlic cloves from the skin into a medium bowl and mash with a fork into a paste.

MEATLOAF ON THE GRILL



Meatloaf on the Grill image

We don't eat beef so we use ground pork and ground turkey for this, but you could use any ground meat you'd like. This is a fun way to cook a meatloaf that is great for a hot summer day when you don't want to turn on the oven. We use a charcoal grill. I usually don't measure the seasoning, so go by your own tastes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground meat: For a juicy and flavorful meatloaf, use a combination of ground beef, pork, and veal. You can also use all beef, but it will be a bit leaner.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of herbs and spices in your meatloaf. Some classic options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano. You can also get creative and add other spices, such as smoked paprika, cumin, or chili powder.
  • Use bread crumbs or crackers to bind the meatloaf: This will help to hold the meatloaf together and prevent it from falling apart. You can use fresh or dried bread crumbs, or crushed crackers.
  • Add moisture to the meatloaf: This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and juicy. You can add moisture by using eggs, milk, broth, or tomato sauce.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing will make the meatloaf tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out. The ideal internal temperature for a meatloaf is 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Grilled meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. By following these tips, you can make a meatloaf that is juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give grilled meatloaf a try!
