Ingredients
Meatloaf:
- 2 pounds ground chuck
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup marinara
- 3/4 cup finely diced parsley leaves
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/3 cups bread crumbs
- Wheat bread, 24 slices
- 12 slices pepper jack cheese
Chipotle Ketchup:
- 2 (16-ounce) cans tomato puree
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 chipotle pepper, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chipotle sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, marinara, parsley, salt, pepper and bread crumbs. Mix thoroughly and put on a baking dish. Shape the meat into a loaf and cover the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 90 minutes. Uncover the last 15 minutes of bake time. Remove the meat from the oven and let it sit for 15 minutes before slicing. Slice and keep warm.
Puree the tomatoes until smooth in a blender. Cook onions in heavy pan, over medium heat until softened. Add the pureed tomatoes to the onions add all the remaining ingredients, except the lime juice. Simmer uncovered, stirring frequently, until thick, about 1 hour.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool down a little before adding it to a blender. Add the lime juice and puree again.
Put 1 piece of sliced meatloaf on half of the wheat bread slices, add a slice of pepper jack cheese and top with chipotle ketchup. Cover with remaining bread slices and serve.

SUPER dish, Sherri Parr. I used all these suggestions, from Wagster, Celeste and MaryM, and my son-in-law ate this by the brick-sized slice. I made only half the ketchup, with two chopped canned chipotles and a half-tsp of molasses with a quarter-cup of dark brown sugar, and he hopes it's around for fries, hamburgers — and what remains of the meatloaf. Even my wife, not particularly the lover of the smoky or the spicy, said this dish is to die for.

I was looking for a recipe for a real meatloaf sandwich, not a recipe for meatloaf (and sauce, stuck between two slices of plain wheat bread. I'm sure the meatloaf itself is fine, but the title is misleading, and doesn't deliver what's being advertised.
