Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 250 grams Ground pork
• 100 grams Breadcrumbs
• 60 ml Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 50 grams Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 200 grams Mozzarella cheese, sliced
• 4 rolls Hoagie rolls
• 30 grams Butter
• 2 medium Yellow onions, thinly sliced (for caramelization)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.

Step 3

Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and press it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until cooked through and set.

Step 4

While the meatloaf bakes, prepare the caramelized onions. Heat olive oil in a skillet over low heat, add the thinly sliced onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and soft, about 30 minutes.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, combine tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the tomato glaze thickens, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Once the meatloaf is ready, let it rest for 10 minutes, then slice into thick slices.

Step 7

Slice hoagie rolls in half lengthwise and butter the inside of each roll. Toast the rolls in a skillet or under the broiler until golden.

Step 8

To assemble, spread the tomato glaze on the bottom half of each toasted hoagie roll. Layer with slices of meatloaf, caramelized onions, and mozzarella cheese.

Step 9

Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking tray and bake in a 200°C (400°F) oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Step 10

Serve hot with extra tomato glaze on the side for dipping, if desired.
