How do YOU make a meatloaf sandwich?

[laliz]

I used to be happy with cold meatloaf, on white bread with ketchup. Now, not so much. I really really love meatloaf.

[laliz]

I love the responses.

I made it with double fiber orowheat; mayo (Best Foods) on one side and dijon (Maille) on the other. no lettuce, but spied Frenchs french fried onions (not normally a fave, but had leftover) and sprinkled some on.

Delish.

Next time, I'm gonna try some of the other suggestions here. Thank you all so very much.

[Bkeats]

Can't answer the question. There aren't any leftovers from our meatloaf to make sandwiches. Its so good with the mash and gravy why would there be anything left?

[alkapal]

for me, meatloaf is good hot and fresh, and then, like turkey after thanksgiving, the sandwich is the better thing.

[Cherylptw]

warmed on toasted kaiser with caramelized onions & melted smoked gouda, ripe tomato slices, crispy bacon, vadalia onion dressing & arugula...In that order

[nomnomnoms]

I've never had a meatloaf sandwich before... Thanks for helping me decide what to eat for lunch tomorrow! I have some braised hamburg steaks leftover from last night, as well as a loaf of no knead bread... Can't wait :)

[suzigirl]

I really am not a meatloaf fan but I love a meatloaf sandwich. My favorite way to enjoy them is room temp on white toast buttered and slathered on one side in yellow mustard and then dipped in ketchup or A-1 or both

[PHREDDY]

SG.....not a fan.?????..the bread is not the conveyance...it is the things you dress it with...for me, canned gravy, some bacon, crispy, some ketchup....and I am good to go!!!!

[gmk1322]

two slices of foccacia, Side 1: Grainy Mustard, Side 2: Mayo, Meatloaf (warmed to remove chill), cheddar cheese, thin-sliced tomato on the cheese, roasted peppers

and the key...panini press it to get it melty, gooey!

[BeefeaterRocks]

I fry the meatloaf in a cast iron skillet with little butter, sliced onion and Hot & Spicy ketchup on Oroweat Extra Sour rye.

[StrandedYankee]

Am I really the only one who likes them on rye with horseradish cream sauce? Oh, I feel so badly for all of you who don't know the joy of that...

It just surprises me because that's how we eat them. Sometimes open faced on Pullman loaf with gravy at a diner (side of mashed potatoes, please!), but I was raised on the rye bread and horseradish sauce.

[Big Bad Voodoo Lou]

Creamy horseradish sauce goes great with most meatloaf (meatloaves?), just not mine. I've gotten into it on cold roast beef sandwiches as well.

[Dax]

I like leftover loaf sandwiches better than the actual hot meatloaf. I typically just use about an inch thick slice of loaf with some mayo on whitebread. Slightly cold, but not necessarily right out of the fridge.

[laliz]

Fabulous Ideas everyone! Thank you so much!

[StrandedYankee]

I tend to reheat my meatloaf slice....gently, so it stays moist. Add raw onion and horseradish sauce. On rye bread. That's that.

[ahuva]

I always make up a mushroom glaze or gravy, or really caramelized onions (or both) to go on top of the meatloaf. i also use very crusty bread or rolls, to mop up the sauce.

[ipsedixit]

Open-faced, on a bed of Texas white toast, and smothered with gravy and topped with kimchi.

[c oliver]

Wow, you're into fusion :) What is Texas "white" toast vs. regular? Kimchi? Whew :)

[ipsedixit]

Give it a whirl sometime.

In fact, sometime when I'm in the mood I pour a little gravy over my kimchi and eat that as is. Yum.

[Bada Bing]

I'm with those who reheat a 1/2-3/4" slice in a skillet (cast-iron in my case) to bring the internal heat up just a bit a bit and to give a nice crunchy crusting to the outside. Worth browning the rolls in the same skillet, too.

I use duck fat when I've got it. But a good fat in any case....

[HillJ]

Inside two slices of lighted toasted pumpernickel bread goes:
Warmed Brown gravy
Slice of warmed meatloaf
Slice of provolone cheese which gets melted from the gravy
A few crispy home fries

Gooey, rich and oh so good!

[laliz]

OMG

[PHREDDY]

Exactly my thoughts!...( but never had it with cheese)
Though I do varry the bread choices.

[HillJ]

We're having this sandwich for dinner tonight along with a tossed salad. After I wrote it down, I craved it!

[jrvedivici]

I'm exactly the same as the OP. Cold straight outta the fridge, white bread and ketchup.

[jmcarthur8]

Absolutely no reason to eat it any other way.

[coll]

Well maybe a slice of swiss?

[Steve]

White toast with ketchup.

[mrbigshotno.1]

Just slightly toasted white bread, heavy mayo, S&P, freshly opened bag of potato chips and a nice big jalapeno. MMM MMM!

[boogiebaby]

1" slice, slightly nuked to take the chill off on white bread, with mayo. Sometimes I toast the bread slightly.

[pinehurst]

Cold, dipped in some good mustard with a salty cheese and pickles on the side. I rarely use bread but if I do I use one very thin slice of pumpernickel with it.

[Big Bad Voodoo Lou]

My meatloaf is usually turkey-based, with diced onions and peppers, tomato paste, Progresso bread crumbs, and Italian seasonings. I like the sandwiches best on a lightly-toasted potato roll or a decent hamburger bun, having slightly nuked the thick meatloaf slice beforehand, and then some cheese on it (provolone or anything white and melty works well).

[thinks too much]

Toasted Rye Bread
Cold Meatloaf
Mayo
Lettuce
Ketchup (maybe the curry kind)
Maybe some cold roasted veggies if they are around

[njmarshall55]

Thick heated slice, grainy mustard, on GOOD rye bread...seeded or not. Usually accompanied by a cold beer.

[mucho gordo]

No condiments. The meatloaf should have enough flavor and moistness to stand on it's own.

[JerryMe]

If it's cold - I like it just the way you described. Thin slice of meatloaf w/ ketchup only on the Wonder thin slice of bread. This is usually a take to work meal. Maybe some fresh carrot slices alongside.

If it's hot - I want cheese and a hoagie type roll w/ some sliced pepperoncini.

[Heatherb]

Never made one, but I think a slice of my BBQ/Smoked Cheddar meatloaf on 2 slices of toasted sourdough, with some horseradish spread and maybe more cheddar, would be lovely.

[c oliver]

You've never made a meatloaf sandwich?!?!?!?!?! Heresy, do you hear??? :)

[marymac]

heh, heh!

[Heatherb]

LOL. I'm a purist! Sue me.

[Cheese Boy]

Warm, squashed into a baguette. Maybe a dash of chipotle.

[LindaWhit]

cold meatloaf, lettuce, tomato and *mustard*, on sourdough bread. (Ketchup for hot meatloaf; mustard for the sandwiches.)

[Will Owen]

Usually cold, sourdough bread, butter, mustard and mayo, lettuce (gotta be iceberg!) and maybe some sliced mozzarella. If I'm in the mood I'll smear a little ketchup and some horseradish onto the slab o'meat - this, aside from making the meatloaf itself, is about my only use for ketchup.

The leftover meatloaf now resident in the fridge is less than wonderful; there's a high-level water shortage imposed here until Friday, so instead of kneading it thoroughly with my hands (which calls for heavy washing before and after) I just mixed it with a fork, resulting in a looser, grainier loaf, and a drier consistency. But I got some La Brea rosemary/olive oil bread and laid on the condiments a bit more lavishly, and it's an okay sandwich.

Really, you know, although fresh hot meatloaf with mashed or baked potato is a nice supper, the only real reason I make it is for the sandwiches …

[LindaWhit]

~~~~~~~~~~

Word.

[c oliver]

Dontcha reckon that's true for most of us?

[LindaWhit]

If it isn't, it should be.

[Gio]

A slice of my ground bison meatloaf, at room temp, Italian bread, lettuce, chipotle ketchup... or half wasabi mayo & half regular ketchup.

[MGZ]

My favorite meatloaf sandwich is made by warming a thick slice in a well buttered skillet over medium low heat, flipping, covering, and melting American cheese on it. Place on a hard roll with sliced onion, pickles, ketchup and mustard.

Second favorite would be thinner slices at room temperature (cut while cold and leave on the counter) placed on some crusty bread with mayo, lettuce, tomato, and, maybe, a slice of Swiss.

[grampart]

Not too cold, on Publix Italian Sandwich bread, a thin swipe of butter, s&p, and some of this Wickles relish. I've been known to make a meatloaf just for the sandwiches.

[Veggo]

Room temp or slightly nuked, on rye toast with S&P and ketchup.

[c oliver]

We've been finding that a slight nuke helps. Sourdough toast and mayo. Ketchup?????? Nope :)

[GretchenS]

Whole wheat sourdough toast, mayo and homemade pickled red onions. If too lazy to make the pickled onions, dill pickle deli slices.

[marymac]

I like cold meatloaf with fresh white bread, mayo and lettuce.

[tim irvine]

No lettuce...too healthy! Squishy white bread with lots of mayo, store bought and everything!

[c oliver]

Well, if it's iceberg, then no concerns about nutritional value!

[alkapal]

i'm exactly with you tim! lots of DUKE's mayo, room temp meat loaf, squishy white bread. MAYBE some sliced vidalia onion! sunbeam buttermilk loaf is replacing my wonderbread for those kind of apps. (summer tomato sandwiches are intruding into my thoughts right now).

edit: that "wickles" hoagie pepper spread mentioned on this thread looks like it might be absolutely perfect to add with the mayo!

maybe a shake or two of cholula chili-garlic sauce. i love that stuff!

[Dax]

The Chipotle Cholulua is good too.
