Sandwich Recipes You Can Sink Your Teeth Into - Savory Meat Loaf With Sweet Ketchup Bacon Topping

Today's economy demands that we stretch and make the most of our food dollars. Leftovers that end up in the trash can might as well be your hard earned food dollars staring back up at you. Cook foods that make great use of leftovers. One of these foods favorite at my house is yummy savory meat loaf, which makes terrific sandwiches the day after.

It is my plan that meat loaf sandwiches taste better if the loaf is made the day before. If I am manufacture the dish specifically with plans for sandwiches, I have to withhold the sandwich portions prior to serving the meal because this main dish disappears fast at our evening meal table. If there are no leftovers, I cannot serve meat loaf sandwiches.

Meat Loaf

I have often made two loaves at once, served the evening meal meal, and preserved the second loaf specifically for sandwiches. The main meal commonly consists of homemade mashed potatoes, the meat loaf, brown gravy, English peas, soft white bread slices, and sweet iced tea.

My house likes to spread their plates with a layer of mashed potatoes, a second layer of sliced meat, and a third layer of brown gravy. They like to drag the bread slices straight through the brown gravy. After the evening meal, I slice any leftover meat into sandwich size portions, pack in a plastic container, seal, and refrigerate.

There are different ways to prepare a meat loaf sandwich depending on your taste. I spread soft white bread slices with a kind layer of mayonnaise. I add a light layer of prepared horseradish along with some mustard. I sprinkle the slices with fresh ground black pepper. I very slightly warm the meat slice, getting it just to room temperature. I place the meat on the sandwich, and that's about it.

Some people prefer it without the mayonnaise. Some folks like to add a slice of tomato and some lettuce. My house sometimes adds crisp bacon slices, more sweet ketchup, or even a light layer of warmed mashed potatoes.
