Ingredients




Meatloaf:
1 pound lean ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1 large egg
1 teaspoon over flowing with Worcestershire Sauce
1 cup of a mild, chopped onion
2 cups of bread crumbs, Panko are a nice and hearty choice
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup of barbeque sauce, I really like Sweet Baby Ray’s
1/2 cup ketchup
Steak Fries:
1 baked potatoes per person, plus one extra
olive oil
coarse sea salt
cracked black pepper

Preparation

1 In a large bowl, combine; 2 Ground beef 3 Ground pork 4 In a small bowl, combine; 5 Egg 6 Worcestershire sauce 7 Combine that mixture with the meat 8 Knead until well blended 9 Add the onions and mix well 10 In another small bowl, mix together; 11 Bread crumbs 12 Granulated garlic 13 Tarragon 14 Salt 15 Pepper 16 I like the dry ingredients to be well blended 17 Add the dry mixture to the meat mixture and combine 18 Line a pan or baking sheet with aluminum foil 19 Split the meat mixture in two 20 Form two large oval/rectangular shaped loaves 21 Refrigerate until ready to grill 22 Mix together; 23 Barbeque sauce 24 Ketchup 25 Spread generously over the two loaves 26 Pre-heat grill 27 You may require two spatulas to transfer the loaves from the pan to the grill, placing it directly on the grates 28 Reduce heat to medium-low 29 Cook over indirect heat for 50-60 minutes, or until an instant read thermometer, inserted horizontally near the top, reaches 155°. 30 Remove the loaves from the grill and allow to stand for an additional 10 minutes 31 In the meantime, you can get started on some homemade steak fries. 32 Steak Fries: 33 Couldn’t be easier! These are so delectable that I usually figure one baked potato per person plus one extra for the group. 34 Pre-heat the oven to 375° 35 Line 2-3 baking sheets with aluminum foil (for super cinchy cleanup) 36 Scrub the potatoes 37 Cut the potatoes in half 38 Cut each half into eighths 39 Place steak fries on the baking sheet, lined up like little soldiers 40 Drizzle with oil and brush to apply evenly 41 Sprinkle with; 42 Course sea salt 43 Cracked black pepper 44 Flip the potato wedges over 45 Sprinkle with salt and pepper 46 Cook for approximately 35 minutes, until nice and golden brown 47 Slice the meatloaf and serve it with a side of fries! 48 More recipes, more good grilling, more tasty and tangy meals…..

About


As the More is More Mom®, I’m all about…..more tasty and tangy meals to feed my family! Doesn’t a good, old fashioned, meatloaf sound delicious?  The problem, I find, with baking meatloaf in a loaf pan, is the fat. It always results in kind of a gross, congealed layer. That certainly doesn’t sound terribly appetizing. I, however, have the perfect solution…..grill it!
The beauty of the grilling method is that all of the juices drip down onto the flames, creating a nice, smoky flavor for the meat. It’s kind of like grilling a gi-normous hamburger patty, and who doesn’t like that?
Frequently I will prepare the meatloaf mixture the night before, or earlier in the day for a quick and simply prepped meal.
