Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup 2-percent milk
1 large egg
3 tablespoons whole-wheat breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 tablespoons barbecue sauce
2 cups baby spinach
2 scallions, trimmed
1 large clove garlic
12 ounces lean ground beef
8 ounces 99-percent fat-free ground turkey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
  • Stir together the milk, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce and 1 tablespoon of the barbecue sauce in a medium bowl.
  • Finely chop the spinach, scallion and garlic together on a cutting board. Transfer to the bowl, along with the ground beef and turkey, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper. Gently combine the mixture well with your hands.
  • Coat a 20-inch piece of heavy duty aluminum foil all over with cooking spray. Pile the meatloaf mixture onto the foil just off the center and form into a 9-by-5-inch loaf that's about 1-inch thick. Fold the long half of the foil over the meatloaf, lining up the edges, and crimp and fold tightly to make a sealed packet.
  • Put the packet on the grill, close the grill lid and cook for 10 minutes. Turn the packet over using 2 large metal spatulas; cover and grill 10 minutes more. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes. Carefully open the packet (hot steam will escape). The meatloaf should have some grill marks and an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Brush the top and sides of the loaf with the remaining 3 tablespoons barbecue sauce. Cut into slices and serve.

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. 2 Stir together the milk, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce and 1 tablespoon of the barbecue sauce in a medium bowl. 3 Finely chop the spinach, scallion and garlic together on a cutting board. Transfer to the bowl, along with the ground beef and turkey, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper.

Pile the meatloaf mixture onto the foil just off the center and form into a 9-by-5-inch loaf that's about 1-inch thick. Fold the long half of the foil over the meatloaf, lining up the edges, and crimp and fold tightly to make a sealed packet. 5 Put the packet on the grill, close the grill lid and cook for 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right meat: Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork for a flavorful and moist meatloaf. You can also use ground turkey or chicken for a healthier option.
  • Add some veggies: Grated carrots, chopped onions, and celery add moisture and flavor to the meatloaf. You can also add other vegetables, such as zucchini, spinach, or mushrooms.
  • Season generously: Use a combination of herbs and spices to flavor the meatloaf. Some popular choices include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Don't overmix the meat: Overmixing the meat will make the meatloaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf: Use your hands to shape the meatloaf into a loaf shape. You can also use a meatloaf pan if you have one.
  • Wrap the meatloaf in foil: Wrapping the meatloaf in foil will help to keep it moist during cooking. You can also place the meatloaf in a baking dish with a little water to help keep it moist.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: Cook the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 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 together better.

Conclusion:

Grilled BBQ meatloaf foil packs are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a classic comfort food. By following these tips, you can make a moist and flavorful meatloaf that your family and friends will love.
