 Almost everyone loves meatloaf...so why not do it on the grill.....just combine a pound of ground beef, a couple of eggs, a couple of cups of bread crumbs,lots of minced onion, horseradish, dry mustard along with salt and pepper.  Add 1/4 cup milk, mix together and shape into 5 little meatloaves about 4 1/2 x 2 1/2.  Put in a grill basket.   Melt 1/2 c. of butter and 1/2 c. catsup and brush all over the little loaves.  Grill for about 20 minutes over a slower part of the grill.   Re-coat with the sauce and cook another 15 min.  

 I read the post about the potato packets and wouldn't that go well with this.......a 'comfort' meal off the grill.  Throw on some squash, grilll and a whole meal is yours!
 

I love to grill and I have a wonderful recipe for grilling the most tender and flavorful babyback ribs ever....I make my own rub and my own barbecue sauce that way its just the way I like it...I posted the rub here.

Favorite Summertime Ribs

1 rack babyback ribs or spareribs

heavy duty aluminum foil

1 to 2 TBLSP olive oil

Any kind of rub you prefer...I have also found a wonderful Cinamom Chipolte rub that is fantastic.

Rub oil over the ribs and then cover with your rub,wrap in foil over night..let them set all night long..(they are way better this way).

Light your barbecue and keep ribs in the foil and lay on barbecue over indirect heat for 1 hour.....then when done uncover and spread this recipe over the ribs..

( 1 can beer) 

(1/4c brown sugar)

(2 Tblsp soy sauce)

(1 Tblsp minced garlic)

Lightly coat over ribs for the last 10 minutes uncovered.

Man you want to taste tender ribs.....this is it.

Hi...

I just notice your recipe for the BBQ sauce,(which sounds really good, I'll be using this week-end) would you also share your rib recipe, you could e-mail me at , could I leave the rub on longer than over night? Like maybe put the rub on Thursday night & grill Saturday?

Thanks,

Sorry,

But, I was asking for your rub recipe ( I left the rub out of the request ).

 Thanks Again...

Hi Sugarcookie,

 Go to McCormick.com and check out their Grill Mate's Dry Rubs.  I love the Cinnamon Chipotle Rub.  I have used it on steaks -terrific!! And also on corn on the cob (spread on corn and wrap in foil -put on grill or bake in the oven) yum!  They also have other flavors.  It goes a long way (I put 2 tablespoons on a large Porter House steak).  The first time I used it, I let it sit on the steak in the refrigerator for 1 hour.  The flavor penatrated real well, but the coating/rub was not crusty.  The next time I just grilled it after putting the rub on it. They also have recipes to try it with.  "Try it you will like it!"  AtlantaPat

Thanks....I'll look in the store, but I live in such a small town, we have only one big grocery store (Food City)., maybe they will have it.

 Again thanks,

Sugarcookie

This Meatloaf idea is so cool. What a great twist. I am going to try it soon

 Hey Hurricane...Try my french bread with that meatloaf..Its a winner..

I must have missed it ... what French Bread??

Ask Patty..She has the French bread photos flourman sent..That barbeque sandwich looked like French bread you posted. Was that bread made by the store where you bought it?..

Large sandwiches in the shape of a submarine are referred to  as "subs"..or sub sandwich.

My French bread was made with no fat..which I was told years ago.."can't be done". I finally mastered  the dough to make bread just as good without fat as bread with fat. Ask Patty to post my pictures...flourman

 Hi Flourman, we can't post your photos yet, but we will be adding additional functionality to our message boards soon, hopefully in August.

Thanks for your help Patty and for the return email some time ago. I tried last week to upload some photos on this site...on the "insert edit image" on the toolbar. But it don't work yet.

Like I said Patty those photos are yours..I will send more ..It is so much easier to explain with a picture attached "the authors creations"..than try to spell it out without a photo..

Those rolls are real good and I hope you know exactly how I did them..The "French Bread" on the cookie sheet was perfectly done. The pan measures  19x12 inches..   Thanks for your time Patty...flourman.

what a great idea, you can also shape them into hamburger style patties if you don't have a grill basket, they taste great served on kaiser buns!

Hi,

 I liked the recipe for meatloaf that can be cooked on the grill. Going to try it real soon. Thanks

One of my favorite main dishes prepared on the grill is what they call Boneless Beef Ribs that have been marinated overnight in Teriyaki sauce. The Teriyaki sauce should cover them or turn a no drip plastic bowl (I like the big Rubbermaid cake holders) several times to make sure the meat is covered on both sides. What they call Boneless Beef Ribs are just a tough shoulder roast cut into about 1 and 1/2 or 2 inch by 3 inch pieces, so they're tough to begin with. The Teriyaki permeates the meat if left overnight and breaks it up, making them tender. Grill on low heat because the Teriyaki also has a tendency to blacken the meat if on too high of heat, although some people (including me), like that flavor. Watch them carefully which is the secret to every success in cooking and being beef you can cook them to your desired doneness. Try this and enjoy.

My husband makes a really great grilled salmon.  Use a full side fillet skin on, brush both sides with olive oil, salt and pepper the meat side, slice some scallion onto the meat side.  Oil your grill so it doesn't stick, place it skin down on a medium heat grill, close the lid and cook just until it turns opaque and flakes easily.  It always comes out moist and delicious.
