You might not expect to find a meatloaf on the grill, but when the weather’s great and the grill is available, why not?
This flavorful meatloaf is an easy preparation, and it is cooked on the grill. Try to keep the grill temperature steady at a medium heat of around 350 F/180 C and use a heavy-duty disposable aluminum pan or double thickness of heavy-duty foil.
Top the loaf with purchased barbecue sauce or the optional glaze, or use a homemade barbecue sauce. You’ll find the optional glaze recipe in the tips and variations.
Serve this meatloaf with mashed potatoes and steamed green beans. Add a pie with ice cream for dessert for an entire meal.
