I have to admit – leftover meatloaf in our house doesn’t happen often. Teenage boys are very good at making sure of that. But if you do find yourself with a lot of leftover meatloaf here are a few ideas for turning it into a different meal.
Don’t forget that meatloaf slices can be frozen to use another time.
1. Serve it like Salisbury Steak.
Cook onion slices in a pan and pour in a jar of gravy. Serve this over the top of reheated meatloaf slices.
2. Meatloaf Parmesan
Top slices of meatloaf with spaghetti sauce and mozzarella and/or parmesan cheese. Reheat in the oven, with a quick broil at the end to brown the cheese. If you’ve got leftover mashed potatoes, add some garlic and cream cheese when you reheat them.
3. Classic Meatloaf Sandwich
We like it cold with ketchup.
4. Use it like meatballs
Cube leftover meatloaf and add it to spaghetti sauce instead of meatballs.
5. Meatball(loaf) Pizza
I’ve had pizza topped with meatballs or sliced meatballs before. You can do the same thing with leftover meatloaf. Add other toppings that you like and go for it!
6. Italian Style Meatloaf Sandwich
Toast hoagie rolls and top with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and any veggies you like (onion, mushrooms, green peppers etc).
How do you like to serve leftover meatloaf?
I chop leftover meatloaf, then add either taco seasoning or salsa. Tacos are always a favorite. I have also used leftover meatloaf in shepherds pie, enchiladas, and on nachos.
Great ideas!
We like meatloaf and cheese panini’s on French bread!
