One of the best things about meatloaf is the leftovers to make sandwiches, and this Asiago cheese laden loaf makes a terrific one!

Cheesy Meatloaf Sandwiches

Cheesy Meatloaf:
1 pound ground beef
6 ounces ground pork
1 cup (9 ounces) grated Asiago cheese
1 large egg
1/2 cup dried bread crumbs
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons whole-grain Dijon-style mustard
3/4 teaspoon cracked pepper
1 teaspoon salt

 

Sandwiches:
1/3 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons whole-grain style mustard
8 French rolls
8 leaves of lettuce
2 tomatoes, sliced
16 slices provolone cheese

1. For the meatloaf, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a bowl, combine all of the meatloaf ingredients. Mix well and pack into a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.
3. Bake the loaf until cooked through and browned, 55 to 60 minutes.
4. Remove the pan from the oven and drain the excess grease. Let the loaf cool completely before slicing. Cut loaf into 8 slices.
5. For Sandwiches: Mix together the mayonnaise and mustard.
6. Split the rolls and top each bottom bun with lettuce, 2 tomato slices, 1 meatloaf slice, 2 provolone slices, and 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise/mustard spread. Top with the roll tops.
7. Serve the sandwiches with potato salad or french fries.

Makes 8 servings.
