Notes
- Bread: Use a tortilla to make a meatloaf wrap, or serve in a lettuce wrap for a low-carb option.
- Toppings: Try adding leftover mashed potatoes, pickles, jalapeños, sautéed onions or mushrooms, crispy onion straws, bacon, lettuce, tomato.
- Make Ahead Instructions: Use leftover meatloaf or to make with fresh meatloaf, shape meatloaf in pan 1-2 days ahead of time. Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
- Freezing Instructions: Cut baked meatloaf into slices and allow to cool completely. Flash freeze slices on a baking sheet for one hour until semi frozen, then place in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Fried Meatloaf Sandwich: Heat a skillet with 1/4 inch oil, until oil is hot. Add one egg and a splash of milk to a shallow bowl and beat well until smooth. Add 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt, pepper, paprika and baking powder to another shallow bowl. Dip the cold slices of meatloaf in beaten egg mixture, then flour. Fry for a few minutes on each side, until golden. Assemble classic meatloaf sandwich as directed.
