Oh my goodness do I love meatloaf sandwiches. It’s two comfort foods combined into one hybrid ULTIMATE comfort food. It’s MEATLOAF in a SANDWICH.
If that weren’t enough, we’re topping it with wine-glazed caramelized onions. The flavor, my friends, will bring you to your knees and make you weep.
This is great food for a picnic – it doesn’t require much prep, provided you had meatloaf for dinner last night, you can eat it without utensils, and it’s good at room temperature.
You will need:
4 ½ inch thick slices of meatloaf
2-4 large lettuce leaves
4 slices bread
dollop mayo
squeeze Dijon mustard
splash lemon juice
1 onion
large splash leftover wine
Cut the onion in half pole-to-pole. Remove the skin and slice in half-moons as thinly as you can.
Heat a small amount of oil in a pan, then cook the onions over medium-high heat until they have softened and picked up a bit of color. After 5 or 10 minutes, splash in a few tablespoons of wine and stir. When all the wine has evaporated, cook for another minute or two stirring frequently. Remove from pan and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the mayo, mustard, and lemon juice. Spread on each slice of the bread (toast the bread first if you like). Place 1 or 2 leaves of lettuce on each of 2 slices of bread, then two slices of meatloaf, then divide the onions between the two sandwiches. Top with another slice of bread. Cut in half diagonally and serve.
