Description
A hearty and flavorful sandwich made with warm slices of leftover meatloaf, melted cheese, tangy mustard, and creamy barbecue mayo on toasted bread.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 slices leftover meatloaf (about 1 inch thick)
- 2 slices cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or processed)
- 1 tablespoon water
- 4 slices sandwich bread
- Thinly sliced red onion, to taste
- Yellow mustard, to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and barbecue sauce until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add meatloaf slices and cook 3–5 minutes per side until heated through and lightly browned.
- Place cheese slices on top of the meatloaf. Add water to the skillet and cover for 30 seconds to 1 minute until cheese melts.
- Remove meatloaf from skillet and set aside.
- Toast bread to desired crispness.
- Spread barbecue mayo on one side of each slice of bread.
- Assemble sandwiches by placing meatloaf on bread, topping with red onion and mustard, then closing with another slice of bread.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use any type of leftover meatloaf (beef, chicken, or turkey).
- Swap cheeses like provolone, gouda, or mozzarella for variety.
- Add toppings such as pickles, lettuce, or coleslaw for extra texture.
- Toast bread well to prevent sogginess.
- Prepare barbecue mayo ahead and store in the fridge.
- Reheat meatloaf separately before assembling for best results.
- Avoid microwaving assembled sandwich to maintain texture.
