the meatloaf into squares rather than slices and I can cook two kinds at
once. It's cleaner and easier than meatloaf muffins and we never eat it
cold anyway.

Nope - Better cold....

A cold meatloaf sandwich - Must have Heinz ketchup on at least one of the bread
slices.

We don't care for Hellmans preferring Miracle Whip. DD defected and now
uses Hellmans instead of Miracle Whip. We had sandwiches at DD's and
damn they were good. We are thinking of defecting to Hellmans too

OK grainy mustard is also good - we do agree on the Best Foods although I don't
think the taste is the same as it used to be. - It's just different. I suspect
they're using a different oil.

The Hellman's (same thing) that I bought recently has Canola Oil written
prominently across the front label. I'm not sure what they used to use.

Cold meatloaf sandwich? You've got to be kidding me.

Take that slice of cold meatloaf and pan fry it in butter till it gets
a little crispy. A generous slathering of Best Foods mayonnaise, and a
single thin slice of Tillamook Jack. A touch of brown mustard if your
bold.

Yep, a fried meatloaf sandwich is great, sans cheese but with the brown
mustard. But I like cold meatloaf sandwiches, too, straight out of the
fridge.

Nope, sorry. DH will warm it up every time with maybe a little beef
gravy. Other than that I make enough to either use up all at once or
freeze the rest to be warmed up with gravy. I've yet to eat meatloaf
cold and I know for sure DH would never eat it cold. BTW, my mom never,
ever made meatloaf! I was so thrilled when dear MIL taught me how to do
it. It was not something that was ever served at home. I love the
stuff but I do like it warm. DH and the kids basically inhale it and
then eye my plate because I eat slower than them. They will actually
take quick pokes at my plate hoping to get another piece but my fork is
pretty quick. Rather a nasty, heathen like thing but DH reconds it's
all fair when it comes to food and I'm never a big eater so always have
leftovers on my plate. He figures tis better to eat than waste
Meatloaf is one of the few recipes I gear so there aren't leftovers
unless I plan on freezing some and they know it. I freeze meatloaf with
the gravy so when I warm it up, it is ready to go.

Could we have a recipe please?

As far as I'm concerned, the main reason to make meatloaf is so that we
can have cold meatloaf sandwiches the next day. In fact, sometimes I
make one to have in the frig for just that purpose.

Sounds like you have your own white tornado ... drives me nuts
going crazy looking for something only to find, oh, I threw that out,
I didn't think you wanted it. Grrr.

I just make two loaves, freeform, and cook them in a baking dish
side by side. I don't think I'd like meatloaf cubes, but to each their
own. Leftovers make nice sandwiches on white with butter ... I can
only imagine that's something leftover from my childhood. Or I reheat
it until barely warm and have that with ketchup or gravy on it.

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes ... hmmm, soon as it cools down.
Don't forget the peas. The all (mostly) mushy comfort food dinner.

Chopped meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn, all smooshed together.
It's like cottage pie without the layers. <G>

it's great. Give it a name and you could serve it in a fancy restaurant ...

Closest I've been able to come is to call it Puke. But I discovered that
Crash has always done the very same thing. Hmmm .... I should make a
cottage pie. Same great taste, less pukey-looking.

It's almost like the Beef Crumble over mashed potatoes they used to
serve in grade school and high school. Anybody remember beef crumble?
It wan't meatloaf per se, just cooked ground beef, crumbled up w/
sauteed onion and celery, mixed w/ beef gravy, ladled over a scopp of
mashed potatoes. Served with white bread & butter and some kind of
veggie...corn? green beans? Everybody loathed it in grade school and
loved it in high school. But during grade school, it was always served
with peanut butter fingers for dessert, so everybody bought lunch that
day.

Puke is just as good a name as any, though!!

I love that! The crumbled meat, that is. Not allowed to have peanut butter
in school these days.

That's precisely how I started eating that kind of thing. With corn. All
stirred together.

Barf is probably better. An afterthought on my part.

My DH's favourite meal.....hamburger, browned with onions, drained, a
can of cream of mushroom soup stirred in. Poured over mashed potatoes
and a half a can of cream corn on top of it all.......yuck...I always
bake a potato and grill a steak on these nights....Sharon

Yeppers! I do the freeform meatloaf too. It is so very good with mashed
potatoes and peas. I don't like cooking it with tomatoes or ketchup on top.
I like to see the top shiny with a bit of grease and bits of onion poking
out. Of course that shiny top must be covered with gravy though. Durn, I'm
hungry!

I make mine either on top of my broiler pan or in my Rotisserie.

My meatloaf pan is actually two loaf pans, one of which fits inside the
other. The top pan has holes in it, so that fat drips into the bottom,
ridged pan. No congealed fat in MY leftover meatloaf. I think I must make
some this week.
