Instructions: Preheat the grill, or an oven to 350 degrees F. 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 meat loaves reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, 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 meat loaves can be placed on a lightly greased baking sheet and roasted in a preheated 350 degrees F oven until an internal temperature of 160 degrees F is reached, about 45 minutes to 1 hour, basting occasionally with the pan juices.

Essence (Creole Seasoning):
Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
