North End Bomber Meatloaf Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• For the white bread: Mix the flour, salt, yeast, water, heavy cream and honey in a large stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for 15 minutes. Let rest.
• Portion into 1 1/2-ounce balls, then shape into loaves. Place in greased bread pans and dust with flour. Proof for until the dough is 1 inch over the pans, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Bake the loaves for 57 minutes. Remove from the pans and place on cooling racks. Cut into double-thick slices for Texas toast.
• For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Thoroughly mix together the ground chuck and brisket, ground pork and veal. Once the meats are well blended, add the ketchup, breadcrumbs, brown sugar, Italian seasoning blend, seasoned salt, Worcestershire sauce, bell peppers, onions and eggs and mix well. Once all the ingredients are well blended, place the mixture into 4 loaf pans, filling each pan approximately 95 percent.
• Bake for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven, then from the loaf pans and place on a baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, for the meatloaf glaze: Whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl. Brush the meatloaves with the glaze. Return the meatloaves to the loaf pans and bake for an additional 30 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the loaf pans. Cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices (about 6 ounces each).
• For the SNS sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, mustard, Cajun seasoning and garlic in a small bowl.
• For the heirloom tomato jam: Place the tomatoes, onion, sugar and vinegar in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Once well combined, add the rosemary and season with salt and pepper. Let cool.
• For the fried onion straws: Heat a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F.
• Stir some hot sauce into the buttermilk in a large bowl. Utilize the amount you want based on the temperature you are seeking--this is all personal preference!
• Combine the flour with the garlic powder, onion powder and some salt and pepper in a shallow plate. Mix thoroughly.
• Dip the onion rings into the buttermilk mixture, then coat in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess. Fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
• For the meatloaf sandwich: Grill the Texas toast slices on one side. Heat the meatloaf slice on a flat-top grill. Place the meatloaf atop the bottom bread slice. Top with the SNS sauce. Place the candied bacon on top. Cover the candied bacon with the onion straws. Top the onion straws with the tomato jam and arugula. Put on the top slice, cut on the diagonal and serve.

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!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the turkey, eggs, garlic, onions, bread, parsley and some Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix until well incorporated. Divide in half and place each half into a well-sprayed loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap, then with foil. Bake for 1 hour. Uncover and bake for 5 additional minutes to brown.
• Remove meatloaves from their pans and place on a cutting board. Cut two thick slices of meatloaf. Heat the oil in a cast-iron pan and cook the slices until browned on both sides. In a separate pan, cook the sliced onions until tender. Place the onions on the meatloaf, top with BBQ sauce and then with the provolone. Place 1 slice of Anadama Bread in the pan, set the meat tower on the bread, cover with the other slice of Anadama Bread and cook until the cheese is melted. Transfer to a cutting board, cut in half on the diagonal, and serve.
• Warm the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook until tender. Add the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, parsley, salt, black pepper, cayenne and 3 cups water and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until thick, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Combine the cornmeal and 5 cups water in a saucepan. Heat until starting to thicken, then remove from the heat and allow to cool.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment, combine the cornmeal mash, molasses and yeast. Mix, then turn off and let sit for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the high-gluten flour and mix until smooth. Let sit until the dough doubles in size (about 10 minutes). Mix in the oil, salt, ginger and all-purpose flour, a little at a time, until a ball forms on the dough hook. Place on a well-floured work surface and cut into five 26-ounce dough balls. With floured hands, knead and form into the desired shape and then place into 5 well-sprayed loaf pans. Let rest until the dough doubles in size.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Dust the top of the dough with cornmeal. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 180 degrees F, about 40 minutes. Let cool completely before slicing.

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:

• 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.
