    The best way to make a Meatloaf Sandwich is to keep it simple. Here's what you need: a couple of lightly toasted bread slices (wheat, white or sourdough), slices of ripe red tomato and sweet red onion, good quality mayonnaise (ketchup or BBQ sauce optional), and a slab of delicious leftover meatloaf.

    I've shared my two favorite meatloaf recipes (Turkey Meatloaf and Meatloaf with Oatmeal), they're one of my go-to comfort foods. And while they're wonderful the day they're made, sandwiches made with the leftovers are even better, particularly with a pile of potato chips and an ice cold beer.

    Ingredients You Need to Make a Meatloaf Sandwich

    • Sandwich Bread: whole wheat, white or sourdough - nothing too dense or thick
    • Cold, Leftover Meatloaf: I recommend either my mushroom loaded Turkey Meatloaf or my Meatloaf with Oatmeal
    • Mayonnaise: best quality mayonnaise, ideally homemade mayonnaise
    • Ketchup or BBQ Sauce: optional
    • Onion: sweet onion or red onion

    Recipe Tips

    • Leftover meatloaf is easy to slice when it's very cold, so cut it with a sharp or serrated knife straight from the refrigerator.
    • Cut yourself a thick, meaty slice so the meatloaf flavor is the star of the sandwich.
    • Don't be stingy with the mayonnaise. And feel free to add ketchup, but only if you're someone who loves it - it's not essential to the balance of flavors in the sandwich.
    • Go for a slice of sweet onion or a red onion rather than a standard yellow onion that might overpower the other flavors.

      This is the ultimate in comfort food! In fact, this is a case where the leftovers might actually be better than the original. I do love a good meatloaf sandwich, and I can't wait to try your version!!

      I love the idea of using leftover meatloaf for the sandwiches and This would be GREAT for a workday lunch! I am going to make an extra large meatloaf next time, just for this sandwich.
