Welcome to Barbecue Pit Boys: Cooking Up a Meatloaf Log Roll at the Pit

Today, we're cooking up a meatloaf log roll at the pit and it's easy to do. These are breakfast sausages, which are precooked and can be found in the frozen food section. You'll need to chop them up, so don't forget to grab your trusty knife and get chopping! We've got some ground chuck on hand, 80% lean and 20% fat, which is the perfect ratio you want for a meatloaf.

Now that we have our ingredients ready, let's season it up. We're using our SPG (seasoning powder) to give it a boost of flavor. Feel free to add your favorite seasonings or spices, just remember, less is more when it comes to seasoning. Now, take the chopped breakfast sausage and place them on top of the ground beef. You get the picture – we're talking pizza here! Add some minced garlic if you like, and don't be afraid to add what you want. We've got shredded mozzarella cheese that's perfect for this recipe.

Add a little bit more fat in the form of starch or potato chips, and a pinch of salt content to balance out the flavors. You'll notice how well these ingredients complement each other – it's like a pizza! Now, we're taking this sauté and adding it to the flattened-out ground beef. This is where the magic happens, folks!

While you're getting ready for the next step, gather your kids (or anyone willing) together. This recipe is all about the roll, so get them excited! Start rolling out that ground beef, and don't worry if it's not perfect – you'll learn to roll in no time. If the ground chuck or ground beef is slightly chilled, it will make the process a bit easier.

Now we're going to take this bad boy to the grill. Preheat your Kettle grill or oven to about 325°F and cook indirect using the grill like an oven. This won't take long with a 2 1/2 lb loaf, so be patient! While it's cooking, prepare your bacon strips – you'll need three to four for this recipe.

When the meatloaf is done, make it look pretty by adding some chopped up Fresh Garden tomatoes on top and a little more shredded cheese. Now, let it rest for a bit before slicing and serving. And trust me when I say, Lord have mercy! The aroma that fills your kitchen will be mouthwatering.

This recipe is a kid-friendly favorite no matter what age you are, so make sure to share it with the family. If you like more recipes like this one, start a chapter with us by visiting our website.
