Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 0.5 lb ground pork
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup white onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 cup white gravy
• 8 slices sourdough or brioche bread slices
• 2 tbsp butter
• 4 slices pickles (optional)
• 4 leaves lettuce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, diced onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture.

Step 3

Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press it down evenly. Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 4

Let the meatloaf cool for at least 15 minutes before removing it from the pan. Once cooled, slice the meatloaf into 1-inch thick slices.

Step 5

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Step 7

Dredge each meatloaf slice in flour, then dip it in the beaten egg, and coat it with panko breadcrumbs.

Step 8

Carefully place the breaded meatloaf slices into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Toast the bread slices in a skillet with butter until golden brown and slightly crisp.

Step 10

Assemble the sandwich: Place a slice of fried meatloaf on a slice of toasted bread. Top with a drizzle of white gravy, lettuce, and pickles (optional), then finish with another slice of toasted bread.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your Country Fried Meatloaf Sandwich!
