Grilled Meatloaf

As is the case in many parts of the country, it was insanely hot here this week.  I wanted to grill something for dinner so I wouldn't have to turn on the stove!  I looked at several recipes for grilled meatloaf to determine the best method.  I ended up buying aluminum (throw away) loaf pans and that worked out great!  Other methods called for shaping the meat into a loaf and grilling on planks.  I wasn't sure I'd like the "smokey" flavor of meatloaf on a cedar plank.  Anyway, it was very easy and a bit faster than cooking in the oven.  I forgot to add the ketchup topping but will try that next time about 10 minutes before it's done.  I served mine with grilled yukon potatoes (recipe is already on the blog) and steamed broccoli.  Delish!


Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef
1.5 tbsp dijon mustard
1 egg
8-10 saltine crackers, crushed up
Several dashes of worcestershire sauce
A few dashes of montreal steak spice
Directions:
Heat grill to medium, indirect heat (my gas grill was at about 350 degrees with the center burner off)
Combine ingredients in a large bowl and combine well
Place in aluminum loaf pan and cover with foil
Place loaf pan in the center of grill, cover and cook for 30-40 minutes
