MEATLOAF ON THE GRILL
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 meatloaf mix: Use a combination of ground beef, pork, and veal for a classic meatloaf flavor. You can also use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Season the meatloaf well: Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the meatloaf, such as garlic, onion, parsley, thyme, and rosemary. You can also add a bit of Worcestershire sauce or ketchup for extra flavor.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf will make it tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
- Form the meatloaf into a loaf shape: Place the meatloaf mixture in a greased loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. You can also use a free-form method and shape the meatloaf into a loaf on a baking sheet.
- Cook the meatloaf on a grill: Preheat the grill to medium heat and cook the meatloaf for about 1 hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the meatloaf to hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
