Ingredients for Open Faced Meatloaf Sammy

Method

Directions for Open Faced Meatloaf Sammy

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatloaf

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

  2. 2

    Shape and Bake

    Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Make Garlic Mashed Potatoes

    While the meatloaf is baking, boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Prepare Mushroom Gravy

    In a skillet, sauté sliced mushrooms in a bit of oil over medium heat until they are tender. Add beef broth and simmer for about 5-10 minutes until slightly thickened.

  5. 5

    Toast the Sourdough

    While the gravy is simmering, toast the sourdough slices until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On each slice of toasted sourdough, place a generous slice of meatloaf, top with garlic mashed potatoes, and drizzle with mushroom gravy. Finish with a sprinkle of fried onions on top.
