Time 1h45m

Yield 4 sandwiches, plus lots of extra meatloaf

Number Of Ingredients 22

Ingredients

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.

Tips:

Choose high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sandwich will be. Use fresh, ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and flavorful cheese.
Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it hold up better to the sandwich fillings and prevent it from getting soggy.
Spread the condiments evenly: Don't just pile all the condiments in the center of the sandwich. Spread them evenly so that every bite has a little bit of everything.
Don't overload the sandwich: It's tempting to pile on all your favorite toppings, but a good sandwich is all about balance. Too many toppings will make the sandwich difficult to eat and will overwhelm the flavors.
Wrap the sandwich tightly: If you're packing the sandwich for lunch, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil so that it doesn't fall apart.
