The best part of making meatloaf is the next-day leftover meatloaf sandwich! I know just about everyone has their favorite meatloaf recipe. Maybe you developed it through the years, or you got it from your Nana, either way it’s going to be delicious in this sandwich.
Ingredients
- Bread – The bread is the the meatloaf holder, that’s it. Don’t use anything with a strong flavor that will compete with the meat. We use thick cut, plain white bread, lightly toasted
- Sauce – A simple and robust combination of ketchup and steak sauce. This sauce is strong, but not rich. Add as much, or as little as you’d like.
- Cheese – Cheddar works really well, with the meat and with the sauce.
- Lettuce and tomatoes – Add a little freshness and crunch to the sandwich with iceberg lettuce and sliced tomatoes. Meatloaf is not fancy; it’s good old-fashioned comfort food so we’ll keep the ingredients for this sandwich basic. Just make sure the lettuce is fresh and crisp and the tomato is ripe and juicy.
- Meatloaf – Use leftover meatloaf from your favorite recipe. If you don’t have one yet, give this turkey meatloaf a try. It’s moist, flavorful and won’t disappoint!
Make a hot or cold sandwich
Is this a hot sandwich or a cold sandwich? That’s up to you really. You can heat the meat in a nonstick skillet until warmed through, or pop it in the microwave for a few seconds.
Be sure to handle the slices gently so they don’t break. You can also add the cheese so it melts, or place it on the already hot slice so it warms and barely melts (that’s what we did).
