Ingredients for Mama's Meatloaf Sandwich

Method

Directions for Mama's Meatloaf Sandwich

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatloaf

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.

  2. 2

    Wrap with Bacon

    Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and wrap the bacon slices around it, ensuring it's fully covered. Place the meatloaf in a baking dish.

  3. 3

    Bake the Meatloaf

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

  4. 4

    Make the Glaze

    While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the bourbon-brown sugar tomato glaze. In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, ketchup, and bourbon. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 5-10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Once the meatloaf is done, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Toast the sourdough bread slices. Place two slices of meatloaf on one slice of toasted sourdough, drizzle with the bourbon-brown sugar glaze, and top with another slice of toasted sourdough.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half and serve warm.
