Let’s Make Your Sandwich!

This is as easy as a grilled cheese sandwich, only upscaled! It is simple to use leftover meatloaf then add your toppings and cook together for the perfect meatloaf sandwich!

Slices of Meatloaf: How thick you slice your meatloaf matters. Think of who you are feeding, little mouths need thinner slices. Bigger mouths can handle a bigger slice. Pan-frying: Pan-frying the meatloaf gives it that beautiful tasty crust on the meatloaf that you are going to love. Cooking it at the same time as the bread also means everything gets done at the same time! Everything will be nice and hot and melty! YUM!Good Quality Bread: I used french bread for this sandwich which is a nice choice. You want bread that can hold up to the meatloaf and toppings and not fall apart on you while you eat it. Ciabatta, thick-sliced sourdough, and Italian bread are all good choices. Even a good thick-sliced white bread can be amazing. You can also use hamburger buns, pretzel buns, or ciabatta rolls.

Cheese: I highly recommend cheese, because everything tastes better with cheese! I used American but the possibilities are up to you. Try Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Provolone, Havarti, or even for kick, Pepper jack. Sauce: I love sauces and how they can completely change the flavor and add to your dish. You can do all sorts of flavors here. Fry sauce, Yum Yum Sauce, BBQ Sauce, Chick-Fil-A Sauce, and for a kick Buffalo Sauce!Toppings: Lettuce and tomato offer freshness that I love. Other options include pickles, grilled onions, mushrooms, bacon, jalapenos, and crispy onion straws. Sides: A good side dish or two can really make a meal delicious. Roasted vegetables are yummy, try Brown Butter Roasted Carrots or Lemon Parmesan Asparagus. This Jiffy Corn Casserole is only 5 ingredients and super yummy. Of course, potatoes are always awesome with meatloaf, if you have leftover mashed potatoes, try these Mashed potato pancakes! Add a fruit salad like this Creamy Grape Salad or a Pasta Salad and you have you will have one heck of a meal!
