Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 sandwiches, plus lots of extra meatloaf

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small Spanish onion, minced
Salt
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup coarsely crushed soda crackers, such as Nabisco Saltine Crackers (about 24 crackers)
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce
2 large eggs
Freshly cracked black pepper
1 pound ground beef chuck
8 ounces ground pork
8 ounces ground veal
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup ketchup
4 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
4 slices sharp Cheddar
4 potato rolls, buttered and toasted
Bread and butter pickles (3 to 5 per sandwich)
1 can crispy onions, such as French's French Fried Onions

Steps:

  • For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and onions, season with some salt and saute until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1 to 2 minutes without letting the garlic brown. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • In a large bowl, add the crackers, milk, mustard, Worcestershire, hot sauce and eggs. Whisk together, and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the meat, parsley and cooled onions. Mix with your hands until evenly combined. Bake a tester meatloaf patty to taste and test the seasoning, adjusting as necessary. Using your hands, gently form the meatloaf into a loaf about 9-by-5-inches. Place on a baking sheet.
  • For the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar and apple cider vinegar. Slather half of the glaze over the meatloaf. Make sure not to touch the meatloaf with the spoon and then put that spoon back into the glaze; don't cross contaminate, people! Bake until the meat registers 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 1 hour. Let rest for 20 minutes before slicing for sandwiches.
  • For the sandwich build: Place a slice of cheese on the bottom griddled bun, then a slice of meatloaf, spoon some extra glaze on the loaf, pop on a few pickles and top with crispy onions. Repeat to make 3 more sandwiches.

PERFECT MEATLOAF SANDWICH



Perfect Meatloaf Sandwich image

This recipe was published in a 1999 issue of Wine Enthusiast magazine. I find myself making meatloaf just so I can make these sandwiches. I hope you like them, too! Sometimes I use mozzarella cheese instead of Jack. These taste great with potato chips or french fries & a dill pickle on the side. Yum!

THE BEST MEATLOAF I'VE EVER MADE



The Best Meatloaf I've Ever Made image

When I was growing up, my mom never ever made meatloaf and I always wanted to try it - I finally tried it at a restaurant and loved it. When I moved out on my own I started experimenting with different recipes and creating my own version. I finally came up with the best meatloaf I have ever made, and I wanted to share it.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Meatloaf Recipes     Beef Meatloaf Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup minced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds extra-lean ground beef
3 slices bread, toasted and crumbled
7 buttery round crackers, crushed
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 ½ tablespoons sour cream
1 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, divided
¼ cup milk
3 tablespoons ketchup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion and garlic 5 minutes, until onion is tender. Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large bowl, mix the onion and garlic, beef, crumbled bread, crushed crackers, egg, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 can tomato sauce. Gradually stir in the milk 1 teaspoon at a time until mixture is moist, but not soggy. Transfer the mixture to a 5x9 inch loaf pan.
  • Bake uncovered in the preheated oven 40 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), and continue baking 15 minutes, to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: For a flavorful and juicy meatloaf, use a combination of ground chuck and ground sirloin.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Use a generous amount of salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder to flavor the meatloaf.
  • Use a binder: A binder, such as eggs or bread crumbs, helps to hold the meatloaf together.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing can result in a tough meatloaf.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature initially: This helps to sear the outside of the meatloaf and keep the juices inside.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Letting the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and moist meatloaf.
  • Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad are all great options.

Conclusion:

The best-ever meatloaf sandwich is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make a meatloaf that is juicy, flavorful, and perfect for sandwiches. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
