Grilled Meatloaf Sandwich

Wondering what to do with that left over meatloaf? Well you are going to love this sandwich. It is very tasty and easy to fix. This makes a great and filling meal.

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of Texas style toast
• 2 slices of left over meatloaf
• 1 slice of cheese

In a skillet, toast one side of both slices of the Texas style toast. Then add the pat of butter and the 2 slices of the left over meatloaf. Pour a small amount of the barbecue sauce on one side of the 2 slices of meatloaf. After a couple of minutes, flip the meatloaf over to heat the other side. Dress the un-toasted side of the Texas style toast with mayo and the slice of cheese. Place the 2 slices of meatloaf on the cheese and then add the other slice of toast. Serve with french fries or your favorite chips and a pickle spear.

Black & Blue Meatloaf

This is a favorite at our house. It has the just the right hint blue cheese, which gives it a great flavor. Try it, I'm sure that you will enjoy it as much as we do.

Place all of the above ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix together with your hands. Once all of the ingredients have been well mixed together, place in a loaf pan and form the meat mixture into a loaf shape. Pour additional barbeque sauce along the top of the loaf. Place into a 425 degree oven for approximately 1 hour. About ten (10) minutes before it is done, sprinkle additonal blue cheese crumbles along the top of the meatloaf and finish baking. Once the meatloaf is done, remove from the loaf pan and cut slices approximately 1/2 thick, and serve.

This goes great with some garlic mashed potatoes. Prepare this and you will be an instant hit. My daughter does not like meatloaf, but when she tried this one, she loved it. I'm sure you will too.

1 6oz can of fancy crab meat (If you can't get fresh crab meat)
Creole seasoning

In a saute' pan, place the olive oil, chopped onions, chopped bell peppers, chopped celery, minced garlic and season with a dash of creole seasoning. Cook over medium heat until the onions are tender. Add the crab meat and heat through. Then add the white wine and cook until slightly reduced. Then add a splash of heavy cream and stir.
