Ingredients For Griddle Meatloaf Sandwiches
To make these meatloaf sandwiches, there are only a few ingredients needed.
- Leftover Meatloaf. Any meatloaf will work. Use your favourite or try our Smoked Meatloaf.
- Cheese. We like to use cheese slices like Kraft Singles, but we have made these sandwiches with shredded sharp cheddar as well.
- Bread. Texas Toast bread works best for this recipe.
- Mustard.
- Butter.
- Vegetable Oil.
Additional Toppings For Sandwiches
For toppings, we like to add mustard because we add a lot of flavour to our meatloaf already. But sometimes we add other toppings.
- Pickles. These add a crunch and flavour.
- Fried onions.
- Chipotle mayo.
- BBQ sauce.
Dipping Sauce For A Griddle Meatloaf Sandwich
Griddle Meatloaf Sandwiches are perfect for dipping. Try one of these on the side to dip sandwiches in.
- BBQ Sauce. We use our Dr Pepper Sauce.
- Spicy mayo.
- Queso.
- Ranch Dressing.
Best Meatloaf For Sandwiches
To make these sandwiches, a firm meatloaf that stays together is needed. A loose meatloaf will fall apart on the griddle.
We have tried these sandwiches with beef, chicken and turkey meatloaf, all with great success.
Tips To Make This Recipe
Cold meatloaf will slice more easily. We recommend that the meatloaf be chilled before slicing if you aren’t using leftover meatloaf.
Slice the meatloaf at least ½-¾ inches thick to ensure it stays together when grilling.
Serving these sandwiches hot is the best way to serve them. We don’t recommend making extras for leftovers.
Can These Sandwiches Be Made Another Way?
Our favourite way to make these sandwiches is on the Blackstone, but they can also be made in other ways.
- In a cast-iron frying pan. This way is the same as on the griddle, but only one or two sandwiches can be made at a time.
- A non-stick frying pan.
- On the BBQ using a grill mat. This is the closest thing to an outdoor griddle, and we used to use this method before we got a Blackstone.
