It’s a versatile sandwich that works well for lunch or dinner and is always satisfying.
Meatloaf Sandwich Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 slices of leftover or freshly made meatloaf
- 2 slices of your favorite bread (white, wheat, or sourdough work well)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 slices of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or provolone)
- 1-2 tablespoons ketchup or barbecue sauce
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, onions, mustard
Instructions:
- Prepare the meatloaf: If using leftover meatloaf, warm it up in a pan over medium heat or in the microwave. If you’re making it fresh, allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes after baking before slicing.
- Toast the bread: Butter one side of each slice of bread. In a skillet over medium heat, toast the bread butter-side down until golden and crispy. If you prefer untoasted bread, skip this step.
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread ketchup or barbecue sauce on one or both slices of bread. Place a slice of cheese on one piece of bread, followed by the warmed meatloaf slices. Add any optional toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, or onions.
- Finish the sandwich: Place the second slice of bread on top, press down gently, and serve immediately.
Enjoy your hearty and delicious meatloaf sandwich!
