Mutha Heffer Sandwich Meatloaf Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the peppers, onions, shallots and olive oil and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a saucepan and reduce the sauce over low heat for 15 to 25 minutes. Then bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Mix in the spaghetti and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce. Garnish with Parmesan, sliced habanero peppers and a whole habanero on top!
• Cook's Note: Add more habanero peppers for a hotter sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, mix the beef, salsa, breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire, salt, pepper, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, egg and jalapeno. Use your hands and mix well. Pat down into a loaf pan. Top with the ketchup, the remaining 1 tablespoon Worcestershire, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cayenne. Smooth over the top and bake until cooked through, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool for 30 minutes. Now this is where the recipe gets fun and you get to use your imagination!!! After the meatloaf cools, slice into 8 thin slices (use 2 slices for each sandwich). You can use any kind of bread. We use a brioche roll, but you can use a kaiser, country Italian or anything that will hold up a messy sandwich. Use some of our suggested toppings to perfect your meatloaf sandwich. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place meatloaf on a microwave-safe plate; cook in the microwave on High, 30 seconds at a time, until heated through.
• Melt margarine in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place both bread slices in skillet over melted margarine. Build sandwich on bread slice in this order: ketchup, 1 slice Cheddar cheese, warm meatloaf slice, and mustard. Flip second slice of bread over onto sandwich; cook until bottom of sandwich is lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
• Flip sandwich with a spatula and place 1 slice Cheddar cheese on top; continue cooking until cheese melts slightly, about 1 minute. Flip sandwich over and lay remaining slice of cheese on top; cook until cheese on the bottom of sandwich is melted and crisp, about 2 minutes. Turn sandwich over; cook until cheese is melted and crisp, about 2 minutes.
