"WHAT YOU GOT" MEATLOAF ON THE GRILL



Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 cup ketchup
1/3 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider or sherry vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds ground meat (I'm using beef)
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 cup peeled and grated onion (I'm using yellow)
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon spice mix (I'm using Old Bay)
5 shakes Worcestershire sauce
2 large eggs, beaten
1 head roasted garlic, mashed, recipe follows
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces smoked sausage (I'm using kielbasa), optional
3 heads garlic
3 teaspoons olive oil

Steps:

  • For the glaze: In a medium bowl, add the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven or grill to 375 degrees F. If using a gas grill, set to medium heat on one side and low on the other side. If using a charcoal grill, bank medium-hot coals on one side of the grill.
  • Prepare your pan: Line a baking sheet with foil if using an oven. If grilling, gather a sturdy grilling tray, disposable foil pan or some sheets of foil.
  • In a large bowl, add the meat, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, cayenne, paprika, Old Bay, Worcestershire sauce, eggs and garlic. Mix the ingredients thoroughly and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Put the meat mixture on the prepared tray. Form the meat into a loaf around the kielbasa, if using, so the sausage is sealed inside. Spread the glaze over the top. Bake in the oven or on the cooler side of the grill, covered, until cooked through and the glaze is sticky, about 1 hour.
  • Serve with potatoes or a side salad or use on a sandwich.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Remove the outer papery skin from the garlic, then cut 1/4 inch off the top of each head. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over each head of garlic, then wrap each head in foil. Seal the foil packets and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Roast until completely soft and caramelized, about 1 hour. Allow to cool slightly.
  • When cool enough to handle, squeeze the garlic cloves from the skin into a medium bowl and mash with a fork into a paste.

SUNNY'S NUNYA BUSINESS MEATLOAF

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds ground chuck (80 percent beef, 20 percent fat)
1 1/2 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
One 11-gram packet French onion mushroom soup/dip mix
1/4 cup finely grated (like sand baby!) Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, if needed
1 egg, whisked

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Break up the beef and drop loosely in a large bowl. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the beef.
  • In a medium bowl, add the tomatoes, soup mix and Parmesan. Mix and mash up any large chunks of tomatoes using a potato masher. Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary (the mix packet contains lots of seasoning, so you probably won't need to). Add the egg and stir.
  • Pour all but 1/2 cup of the flavor base (tomato mixture) over the top of the beef. Using your less dominant hand with your fingers spread out like a pitchfork, gently mix and fold everything together, turning the bowl with your free hand, until just combined. Don't over-mix!
  • Form the mixture into the shape of a loaf on a parchment-lined baking sheet or press gently into a meatloaf pan. Top the loaf with the remaining flavor base. Cook until the internal temperature is 155 degrees F, 50 to 65 minutes. Remove and gently cover with aluminum foil for 10 minutes to allow the ambient heat to bring it to 160 degrees F before slicing and serving.
