Michelle posted this recipe a long time ago. It is really good and a favorite around here. It's a nice one to make to feed a crowd as it is pretty easy and easily expandable.
When we were at Kristen's she made it with breaded chicken breasts. It was so delicious. So that's the update. Make the recipe, but use breaded chicken breasts. Heat them in your airfryer or oven according to package directions, then make the sauce just as in the recipe.
My dad always used to talk about how much he loved meatloaf sandwiches. But I don't remember seeing him prepare or eat one, so I didn't know how he liked them. Years ago I tried a cold one and didn't like it. It was too fatty. Recently I had leftover meatloaf so I googled Meatloaf sandwich and found recipes for hot meatloaf sandwiches. My, were they good! Now I see why my dad liked them so much!
