| 1 cup | 62g / 2.2oz | Finely-chopped onions |
| 1/2 cup | 73g / 2.6oz | Finely-chopped green bell peppers |
| 1 tablespoon | 15ml | Minced garlic |

| 3/4 cup | 109g / 3.8oz | Bread crumbs - (to 1) |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Salt |
| 1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Freshly-ground black pepper |
| 1 tablespoon | 15ml | Essence |
| = (see Bayou Blast recipe) | ||
| Vegetable oil | ||
| 8 oz | 227g | Chorizo - halved crosswise |
| 1 cup | 237ml | Bottled chili sauce - (optional) |
Preheat the grill, or an oven to 350 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, combine the beef, pork, onion, bell pepper, garlic, eggs, cream, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and Essence, and stir with a wooden spoon to blend thoroughly. Divide the mixture into fourths. Form 2 pieces into a loaf shape about 9 by 4 inches. Lay one sausage down the middle of each loaf. Mold the remaining 2 meatloaf portions over and around the sausages to cover it completely, and seal into 2 oblong loaves.
Rub the entire surface of the meatloaf with vegetable oil and make sure the grill is well oiled. Place on the hot grill and brown on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes per side, turning with spatulas. Transfer to the rack above the grill, and top each meatloaf with 1/2 cup chili sauce. Close the grill lid and cook until the meatloaves reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees, about 45 minutes.
Remove from the grill and transfer to a cutting board or serving platter and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. (Alternately, the meatloaves can be placed on a lightly greased baking sheet and roasted in a preheated 350 degree oven until an internal temperature of 160 degrees is reached, about 45 minutes to 1 hour, basting occasionally with the pan juices.)
This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
