Chester’s Favorite Grilled Meatloaf Recipe

Chester is three months “post TPLO surgery” this weekend, so I thought he deserved a special treat today.  So I made his favorite grilled meatloaf.  It is really quite good and I generally make it for me and share with the pups.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds of lean ground beef or sirloin
• 2 slices of whole wheat bread
• 1/2 cup of milk (I use skim milk because that is what I drink and have around)
• 1 Tablespoon of Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 Teaspoon of mustard (I use yellow but any will do)
• 2 Teaspoons of Oregano
• 1 Tablespoon of garlic powder
• 3 Tablespoons of ketchup or tomato sauce

Preparation

• Pre-heat grill on medium for about 10 minutes
• Cut or tear the bread into small pieces
• In a large bowl combine all ingredients (except the ketchup)
• Layer two sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil (large enough to contain the meatloaf)
• Spray the top sheet with PAM or other cooking spray.
• Form the meatloaf in to a long log (about 5 by 8 inches)
• Slather the ketchup or tomato sauce on the top of the meatloaf)
• Place meatloaf on the foil and fold up the edges to make a very strong package
• Place meatloaf on the grill (still on medium heat), close the grill top and cook for 35 minutes
• Turn the meatloaf over and cook for another 25 minutes.
• Remove meatloaf from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes
• Remove the foil and let it rest for another 5 minutes
• Slice and serve
