Meatloaf Ingredients
- 2 lb ground meat meatloaf blend (⅓ ground beef, ⅓ ground pork, ⅓ ground veal)
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 large shallot minced
- 0.5 cup tomato juice or ¼ cup tomato sauce and ¼ cup water or ½ cup BBQ sauce
- 2 large egg cracked and beaten
- 0.75 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 8 slices ham thinly sliced
- 6 oz mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 tablespoon BBQ rub your favorite
- 3 slices mozzarella cheese sliced corner to corner
Instructions
Preparation Step
- Combine all the ingredients above the ham in a mixing bowl and mix them throughout the meat.
- Lay down two sheets of Reynolds Wrap Non-Stick Aluminum foil (non-stick side up) and spread the meatloaf across the foil into a rectangle.
- Layer the ham and then the cheese onto the flattened meatloaf.
- Lifting the side of the aluminum foil, roll the meat back onto itself forming it into a meat roll.
- Form the aluminum foil into a nest around the Sicilian meatloaf and go prepare the grill.
- Set up for two zone or indirect grilling which means coals and smoke wood on one side and the meat on the other.
- Target temp inside the grill is 300°F.
- Smoke until the Sicilian meatloaf reaches an internal temp of 160°F and top with the sliced cheese.
- Once the cheese has melted, remove the meatloaf from the grill and allow to rest for about 10 minutes so the cheese stays in place.
- Top with a sprinkle of the fresh herbs.
- Slice and serve.
