Slow Cooker Meatloaf Sandwich
A creative and inspired dinner! Use the slow cooker to make a Slow Cooker Meatloaf Sandwich that is hearty and flavorful for a unique meal.
Do you ever get a weeknight craving for a delicious burger but just not have the energy to fire up the grill? Sure you could pick one up but unless you have a really good burger place nearby that’s not always the best option. I’ve been pondering on this for a couple of years now (not kidding, this is how my mind really works, thinking of food practically all the time!). And finally the idea came to me. People like meatloaf sandwiches, right? So why not make our meatloaf burger style and turn it into a burger you can have after a long day and no grill required?!
I went pretty traditional on this and stuck with one my favorite seasonings that I keep on hand for not only for burgers but lots of other recipes as well.
Easily make up your meatloaf and even freeze it for later if that’s your thing. This is the perfect make ahead meal!
You could certainly get more creative, and I plan to try out some new versions of this myself, but I wanted to get the basics down first. Pick out your favorite toppings and come home to a delicious burger without the hassle!
