Meatloaf Sandwich Recipe

Preparation and Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Meatloaf

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

2. 2

   Shape and Bake

   Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. Spread a layer of sweet BBQ sauce on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

3. 3

   Grill the Onions

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onions and cook until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.

4. 4

   Assemble the Sandwich

   Toast the sourdough slices. On one slice, place a thick slice of meatloaf, top with grilled onions, a slice of smoked gouda cheese, and a drizzle of sweet BBQ sauce. Add a second slice of toasted sourdough on top.

5. 5

   Serve

   Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately, optionally with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
