Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef, 85% lean ground
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup ketchup, divided
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 clove garlic, fresh minced
  • 1/2 cup onion, fresh, finely grated
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon thyme, dried or fresh
  • 1 teaspoon marjoram
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons mustard
  • soy sauce, A dash
For Sandwiches:
  • 4 ciabatta buns
  • 4 slices American/cheddar cheese
  • Mâche lettuce, or spinach

Yield

Serves: 4 servings

Preparation

Gently mix all ingredients together except 1/2 cup ketchup using a fork or stiff fingers—do not squish the meat together, or you might get a tough loaf. Form into a loaf in the center of a glass baking dish and smear remaining 1/2 cup ketchup on top.

Bake at 350°F for at least 60 minutes, uncovered. I like ultra-caramelized ketchup, and this method creates a crusty tomato top that begs to be made into a sandwich! Place loaf in the fridge to firm up for sandwich slices the next day.


To make leftover meatloaf sandwiches: Slice 4 ciabatta buns in half and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top buns with cheese then arrange 4 slices of meatloaf alongside the buns. Broil on high for just 5-6 minutes. The rolls and cheese might burn, so watch them carefully; if they get too dark, pull them out.

When the meat is warmed through, place it between the cheesy ciabattas, top with mâche lettuce or spinach, and devour!
