Fall is here and for some reason, I always turn to home-style, comfort foods during this time of year! One of my favorites is the classic: meatloaf! I got this recipe from the Publix Aprons collection and is requires you have a tabletop (indoor) grill. It makes the juiciest, soak up the flavor meatloaf ever! This main dish goes wonderfully with creamy Dijon potatoes (recipe also below).

Grilled Barbecue Meatloaf

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs 
• 1/4 cup minced onions
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons diced pimientos (undrained)
• 3/4 cup barbecue concentrate
• 1 1/2 pounds 93% lean ground beef
• 1 (12x20-inch) sheet heavy duty aluminum foil
• Cooking spray

Steps:

1. Preheat 2-sided tabletop grill. 
2. Combine in medium mixing bowl: bread crumbs, onions, pepper, seasoned salt, egg, pimentos and barbecue concentrate. Gently mix in beef. (Do not over-mix)
3. Spray foil with cooking spray. Place meat mixture on center of foil and shape into a 6 x 10-inch rectangle about one inch thick.
4. Bring up foil sides. Double-fold top and ends to seal the package.
5. Place on grill with seam side up. Close lid and grill 12-15 minutes, or until internal temperature is 165°F.
6. Remove from grill and let stand 5 minutes.

Creamy Dijon Potatoes 

Ingredients:

• 1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese 
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon garlic butter
• 1/2 cup reduced fat milk
• 1 (20-ounce) package refrigerated sliced home fries
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

1. Place in microwave-safe bowl: cream cheese, mustard, butter and milk. Cover and microwave on high 30-40 seconds to soften cheese.
2. Whisk until smooth. Stir in potatoes, salt and pepper.
3. Cover and microwave on high 8-10 minutes, or until hot. Stir.

Serve & Enjoy!

This meal goes great with steamed veggies or a salad. It works great for a weeknight meal and is a must have for fall (or any time of year for that matter)!
