One of the very first recipes I ever posted (many, many, many, many years ago) was for Meatloaf. I was a newbie (or at least rediscovering it) to meatloaf way back then, and I had kind of forgotten about how freaking good it is! But because it is SO COLD here right now (like it’s below 20 degrees here, which is FROZEN for Seattle) it’s is making us all crave hearty and comforting food. Like meatloaf.

So when I couldn’t get the old meatloaf off of my brain, I went back and dug up this old recipe. I loved it as much as the first time I made it, and mercifully so did my kids. But the greatest part was that it gave us dinner for two nights in a row. The first night we had the original Meatloaf, and the second we had these gorgeous Meatloaf Sandwiches. Considering that I have now created the craziest schedule for myself I have had since my booktour over the next few weeks, I am totally into the two-for-one dinners. Are you into that too? By the way, can a meatloaf sandwich be gorgeous?

Big slabs of soft white bread, ripe tomatoes and some peppery little greens were the backdrop for the incredibly moist and delicious meatloaf as well as the insanely wonderful sweet and tangy Bourbon Mustard. Yes. Bourbon Mustard.

If you are in the midst of a chaotic Holiday season, consider making some meatloaf and then using the leftovers for a sandwich. Or maybe just make it for the sandwiches? Either way- it is seriously amazing.
