Change up the boring meatloaf routine with these Easy Meatloaf Sliders! They will hit the spot when you need to feed a crowd. Very moist and flavorful in a tasty little slider!
So I am the #KingoftheSlider. From my Beer Braised Shredded Beef Sliders to the Spicy Beer Bratwurst Sliders or the original Homemade Hamburger Sliders, I love them all.
I have even made a Goetta Sliders for breakfast and a Reuben Sliders with Quick Apple Sauerkraut for Octoberfest. I am always looking for new ways to recreate the famous little slider.My kids love meatloaf. I know it is a little weird but they absolute love it. I make it many different ways from mini loaves to my smoked mealtloaf. So the other day I was trying to come up with a dinner idea and I came up with these tasty Easy Meatloaf Sliders.
If you have never had a meatloaf sandwich you don’t know what you are missing. For years, this used to be the specialty at my local golf course. They would heat up a slice of meatloaf on the grill and place it on two slices of white bread with mayo, lettuce, tomato and a slice of raw onion. Yum!!!
So the trick I had to figure out was how to make a meatloaf that would easily fit on a slider bun. Just like my other slider recipes I use 3 pounds of meat. To make a thin slider I bake it in a half sheet pan. The problem was I wanted these sliders to be thick like a slice of meatloaf, but I didn’t want it to be made in a loaf pan. Solved the problem by using a 11×15 being dish.To make my Easy Meatloaf Sliders I used my normal meatloaf mixture using 2 lbs. of ground chuck and 1 lb. of ground pork . Mixed it together with seasonings, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, ketchup and some bbq sauce. Pressed the mixture into a 11×15 casserole dish and spread some ketchup on top. I baked it for 40 minutes and drained off the excess grease.Returned it to the oven for another 20 minutes until the internal temperature reached 160°F. Serve on a little slider bun with some mayo, cheese, ketchup, lettuce, onion or pickles. Whatever makes you happy!
