Meatloaf

Method

Prepare the Meatloaf

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.

  3. 3

    Shape and Bake

    Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. Bake in the preheated oven for about 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. Then, slice it into 1-inch thick slices.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Place 1 slice of the cooked meatloaf on each ciabatta bun. Top each slice with a slice of white cheddar cheese. Place the sandwiches under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Remove the sandwiches from the oven. Spread a generous amount of chunky ketchup on top of the melted cheese. Add shredded lettuce and sliced B&B pickles.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Top with the other half of the ciabatta bun, serve immediately, and enjoy your delicious meatloaf sandwich!
