Grilled BBQ Meatloaf
Sounds crazy, but you will never enjoy 'normal' meatloaf as much as this!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef
- 1 ½ pounds ground pork
- 2 cups dry bread crumbs
- 1 cup finely chopped sweet onion (such as Vidalia®)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup barbeque sauce
- ½ cup ketchup
Instructions
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and scrape the grates clean. Spray grates with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a bowl, mix together the ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, tarragon, sea salt, and black pepper. Divide the mixture in half, and form 2 loaves, each about 4 inches in diameter and 6 inches long. In a small bowl, mix the barbecue sauce with ketchup until well combined.
- Place each meatloaf directly on the prepared grill grates, then spread each with about 3 tablespoons of barbecue sauce mixture; grill until the loaves reach an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees F (73 degrees C), about 1 hour.
Notes
Oven Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with greased aluminum foil. Shape mixture into 1 large meatloaf (or, for a shorter baking time, into 2 loaves). Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, drain fat, and brush meatloaf with BBQ sauce. Return to the oven and bake until fully cooked, about 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
