Italian Sausage Meatloaf Sandwich image

This simple recipe was devised from a rare flash of inspiration and ingredients I had on hand. I started out making a regular pasta dinner & got sidetracked after I had made the bread and thawed the meats. I used premade basil pesto & jarred onion-garlic marinara sauce to speed this dinner along. This could be easily changed to reflect what you have to use up. *Definitely a recipe for skinny, heart healthy folks! The rest of us can only lick our chops.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 lb hot Italian sausage, ground
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1 egg
1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 loaf Italian bread (or similarly textured bread)
1/2 cup basil pesto
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 1/2 cups pasta sauce, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Mix meatloaf ingredients together (use your hands, it's easier).
  • Dump meat mixture into a baking dish and pat into shape and size to fit your bread.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, remove from oven & cover with 1/2 cup pasta sauce. Return to oven & bake 20 minutes more.
  • Cut bread into thick slices -3/4-inch or so. Slather with pesto.
  • Slice hot meatloaf into 1/2-inch slices. (tricky but you can do it!) Place a slice on top of pesto.
  • Mix 1/2 cup pasta sauce with cheese & spread on top of meatloaf.
  • Put sandwiches under the broiler till bubbly & hot & bread is crispy on the edges.
  • Serve with the rest of the sauce, heated in the microwave for 30 seconds.
  • You will need a knife & fork!
  • * If you really want to go for the gusto, top sandwich with a slice of mozzarella or your favorite cheese before broiling.
  • Cooks note: As written, the number of servings is just a guess. Depends on the hollowness of the diners' legs. ;-).
