Jennifers Meatloaf Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together egg and 1/4 cup ketchup.
• In a food processor, pulse onion, celery, and carrot until finely minced, scraping down sides of bowl to ensure even chopping. Add vegetables to ketchup mixture, along with meat, panko, mustard, Worcestershire, herbs,2 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Mix well with your hands until thoroughly combined.
• On a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment, firmly pat mixture into a long, narrow loaf (4 by 12 by 1 1/2 inches). Coat top and sides with remaining 1/2 cup ketchup. Bake until browned and a thermometer inserted into thickest part reaches 165 degrees, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes, then cut into thick slices. Serve on buns, with lettuce, mayonnaise, and pickles.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then spray lightly with cooking spray.
• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook the onions, stirring, until translucent, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the bay leaf, garlic, bell pepper, parsley and thyme and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the onion mixture cool, then discard the bay leaf.
• In a large bowl, combine the beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 cup of the ketchup, the cooled vegetables, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Use your hands to mix everything together. Transfer the mixture to the center of the prepared baking sheet and form into a loaf. Coat the meatloaf with the remaining 1/2 cup ketchup.?Bake until the meat loaf is firm, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Let set for about 5 minutes before slicing. Slice into 8 pieces for thicker slices, 10 pieces for thinner slices.
• Spread mayonnaise on 16 to 20 slices of bread and make sandwiches with the meatloaf slices.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small skillet, heat oil over medium; add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, until brick-red in color and fragrant, 3 minutes. In a large bowl, combine beef, onion mixture, crackers, cheese, eggs, horseradish, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper.
• On a parchment-lined baking sheet, use your hands to form mixture into a 9-inch loaf. Bake until cooked through, about 40 minutes. Let rest 15 minutes before cutting into thick slices. To serve, place meatloaf slices between bread, topped with lettuce, pickles, and ketchup.

Steps:

• For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and onions, season with some salt and saute until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1 to 2 minutes without letting the garlic brown. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• In a large bowl, add the crackers, milk, mustard, Worcestershire, hot sauce and eggs. Whisk together, and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the meat, parsley and cooled onions. Mix with your hands until evenly combined. Bake a tester meatloaf patty to taste and test the seasoning, adjusting as necessary. Using your hands, gently form the meatloaf into a loaf about 9-by-5-inches. Place on a baking sheet.
• For the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar and apple cider vinegar. Slather half of the glaze over the meatloaf. Make sure not to touch the meatloaf with the spoon and then put that spoon back into the glaze; don't cross contaminate, people! Bake until the meat registers 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 1 hour. Let rest for 20 minutes before slicing for sandwiches.
• For the sandwich build: Place a slice of cheese on the bottom griddled bun, then a slice of meatloaf, spoon some extra glaze on the loaf, pop on a few pickles and top with crispy onions. Repeat to make 3 more sandwiches.

Steps:

• For the mini meatloaves: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment or silicone pads.
• In a large bowl, mix together the beef, sausage, parsley, onions, garlic, eggs, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, ketchup and breadcrumbs with your hands. Yep, they are the best utensils for the job!
• Form the meat mixture into approximately 12 to 14 mini loaves (6 to 8 ounces each) on the baking sheets. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes until they reach 165 degrees F. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing.
• For the caramelized onions: Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Pour in the olive oil, add the onions and then reduce the heat to low. Cook the onions until translucent, stirring occasionally. Add the balsamic and sugar and continue cooking until soft, approximately 2 hours low and slow.
• For Joy's basil kale pesto: In a food processor, add the garlic, cheese, and salt. Process until almost smooth. Add the basil, kale and olive oil and process until combined. Taste and make any adjustment you may like. Ah, yum! Set aside if you can until ready to use.
• For the sandwiches: Spread some mayo on each slice of bread. On half of the slices, spread on marinara or meat sauce of your choice. On the other slices, spread on the pesto. Slice the mini meatloaves and layer on the pesto slices. Top with the caramelized onions. Finish with the cheese slices. Close the sandwiches and place on a panini grill until browned and toasty! Slice in half on an angle and enjoy!
