Meatloaf

Caramelized Onions

Method

Meatloaf Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Meatloaf Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined, but do not overmix.

  3. 3

    Shape and Bake Meatloaf

    Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

  4. 4

    Cool and Slice

    Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Caramelized Onions Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook Onions

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and sprinkle with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare Bread

    Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

  2. 7

    Assemble Sandwiches

    On the unbuttered side of four slices of bread, layer slices of American cheese, followed by the meatloaf slices, caramelized onions, white cheddar cheese, and a generous drizzle of JAMMIN’ BBQ sauce. Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side up.

  3. 8

    Grill Sandwiches

    In a skillet or griddle over medium heat, grill each sandwich until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Ensure the cheese melts during grilling.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Remove from skillet, cut in half if desired, and serve warm with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
