Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatloaf

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Shape and Cook the Meatloaf

    Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a greased baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 45 minutes or until cooked through.

  3. 3

    Caramelize the Onions

    While the meatloaf is baking, slice the onions. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, add the onions, and cook until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the SLAB

    Once the meatloaf is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the meatloaf and place a slice on a piece of toasted sourdough bread. Top with caramelized onions and a slice of Provolone cheese.

  5. 5

    Finish Cooking

    Griddle the assembled SLAB in a pan over medium heat until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
