The Kokomo Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Make the Meatloaf

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

2. 2

   Shape and Cook

   Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium heat. Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

3. 3

   Add Toppings

   During the last 5 minutes of cooking, place the sliced mozzarella on top of the meatloaf and close the grill lid or cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

4. 4

   Toast the Bread

   In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Toast the milk bread slices until golden brown on both sides.

5. 5

   Assemble the Sandwich

   On each slice of toasted milk bread, place a generous slice of the meatloaf, topped with roasted tomato slices. Top with another slice of toasted milk bread to create a sandwich.

6. 6

   Serve

   Slice the sandwiches in half and serve hot.
