I have exciting news! You can eat meatloaf in the good ole’ summertime without turning on the oven!
Serve with Lindeman’s Shiraz!
We had grilled meatloaf in a restaurant years ago and from then on, that has been the only way we’ve cooked it! You can never go back!
So what’s different about the recipe?
Use your favorite meatloaf recipe but don’t put as much tomato sauce in the mixture so that it is a bit dryer. So basically, we are mixing ground meat, bell peppers (red and green), onion, Italian bread crumbs and spices with a little tomato sauce. Mash it into a big ‘hamburger like patty’...one pound of ground meat....one big patty!
Mix a sauce to pour on top when it’s done. Since I can’t eat sugar, I mix mostly tomato sauce with just a dollop of ketchup and pour on top. (hubby slices the ends off for me..they are the best!)
Cook thoroughly. It will be crispy on the outside and moist on the inside! Save some for cold meatloaf sandwiches! OH MY...so GOOD!
I’m joining my girlfriend, Shannon at
Cozy Home Scenes for this fun party!
Have you ever eaten grilled meatloaf?
You’ll love it!

Mmmm. Great idea. You can't go wrong with those ingredients and a grill.
What a great idea! I do love meatloaf but not the oven in the summer. :)

Wow never thought of that, hubby loves meatloaf but I do not do many oven meals in the summer just too darn hot..??? Wait a minute?? I use my oven for drying creations all year long hmmm LOL
I will have to try this one out thanks for sharing Diane, now if you can just send the wine my way we will have a completed meal
HUGS

No, but now I want to try it! It certainly looks delicious and it's far better than turning on the oven in this heat.
Sounds yummy. I'll have to try sometime. Thanks for the info
Hugs,

Oh my! But that meatloaf looks delicious!!! Thanks for the idea! Cathy
That sounds very good. And cold the next night would be tasty too. Pamela
Great idea! When we fix meatloaf, we usually make individual-serving sized loaves. After shaping them, we let them cook on a cookie sheet with parchment paper liner. And I've topped my meatloaf off with bottled chili sauce! Love it that way!
Oh my gosh, I came over to thank for your kind words and well, now I am drooling. This is awesome! So smart...you see things like this and think genius, of course! We'll have to try it this summer. I am going to pin this from your blog. Hope that's okay!
Diane, this sounds fantastic! I'd like the ends best too. Nice and crispy. I'm going to keep this in mind for the weekend - providing it ever stops raining!
oh that sounds sooo good I can't wait to try it out I know that I can never make it in the summer with the heat but this is a great idea...
I love meatloaf, have to try it grilled. xo
Very intriguing. Great idea! And I think that I might try it on the stovetop griddle!
Oh my heavens, what a remarkable way to prepare what we had for dinner every Monday night! I can't wait for the Mr. to try it!
Hi Diane,
I enjoy meatloaf too and especially the next day in a sandwich.
Hope that you are enjoying the week

I never thought to grill meatloaf! What a fantastic idea!
This is going on my menu for next week. I make a weekly menu so I know what to buy at the store. Saves me so much time and money ;)
I'm glad you posted your meatloaf Diane. When you told me about this a few weeks ago, I wondered how you did this. Your meatloaf looks very tasty with the vegetables. Like you, my favorite part of the meatloaf is the cripsy end. Yum! Thanks for linking up again to the Grill, BBQ, And Picnic Party!
Looks wonderful! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
I didn't even know you could grill meatloaf! It looks good. sandie

Excellent idea! Williams-Sonoma has come out with a meatloaf pan for the grill! I'm thinking of picking it up!
Thanks for the recipe too!
Oh that does sound good! I love meatloaf but hate to turn the oven on in this HOT weather! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Hi Diane, I am definitely going to try grilling the meat loaf. I discovered Monday while in the grocer store, there's a tomato sauce for meat loaf in the canned tomato aisle.
I did not buy any - I have always used ketchup.
This is truly brilliant! I will try this recipe.
I am going to try that tonight! Sounds delicious!
This is a great idea! I had never thought of it. It looks delish! Visiting from CHS.
Fantastic alternative for summer! Thanks for sharing.
I love meatloaf . I always have. Oh! I must do it on the grill. It looks so yummy!

what a great idea - I added this to my list of things to try this summer!
WOW! Wish I had seen this before picking up our Bubba burgers for this Sunday's birthday cook-out for my husband. What a great idea - this will be happening next time for sure!!
Joy!
Kathy
Hmmmm looks yummy! :D
Hugs,
YUMMO!! Sounds delicious and simple. You do know I'd fight you for those ends, right? ;) My favorite.
Had not heard of Shannon's party. Will stop by.

Hi Diane! OH, I've never heard of this before but it looks delish and I'll bet it has some of that grilled taste too! I'll have to try this.
