GRILLED BBQ MEATLOAF

Category: Meatloaf

2 lbs ground beef (80% lean is preferred)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 Spanish Onion (peeled and chopped)
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/3 cup favorite BBQ sauce
2 large eggs
3 tbsp ketchup
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp favorite BBQ sauce

Preheat oven to 325. In a large bowl add meat, onions, bread crumbs, barbecue sauce, eggs, ketchup and salt. Mix ingredients until thoroughly blended. Pack into a loaf pan and smooth top. Coat top with a thin layer of barbecue sauce, reserving the majority of the sauce for basting on the grill.

Place loaf on a cookie sheet to catch any overflow, cook in 325 degrees oven until thoroughly cooked (center reaches 155 degrees), about 40 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Refrigerate at least two hours or overnight.

Preheat grill to use the Indirect Medium method of cooking. (About a 350 degrees grill with charcoal on each side for a grill).

Remove chilled meatloaf from pan and slice crosswise into 1 inch thick slices. Grill slices directly over heat source for one minute per side. Move slices to the center of grill, indirect heat source, and continue to grill for 2-3 minutes and glazing with barbecue sauce. Serves 6
