Smoked Meatloaf Patty Melt

I grew up with the classic Midwest oven-baked meatloaf glazed with ketchup. I didn’t realize how much I could actually love meatloaf until I had a unique meatloaf sandwich at a brewery in my twenties. The juicy slice of seasoned beef, melty cheese, buttery onions, and juices all soaked up in toasty bread create a savory bite that makes you forget all about those ketchup days. Dig into this caramelized onion goodness that hopefully revives your love for meatloaf, just like it did for me.
