Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil.
- Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch wedges. Toss with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Spread on one side of the baking sheet.
- Peel and thinly slice the onion. In a small bowl, combine ketchup, 1 tsp sugar and a splash of water. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, panko, garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, pepper and 1 tbsp water. Mix gently. Form into a 1-inch thick oval loaf on the other side of the baking sheet.
- Brush the meatloaf with half the ketchup mixture. Roast for 25-30 minutes, until meatloaf is cooked through and potatoes are golden and crispy.
- While meatloaf roasts, heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, creamy horseradish sauce and Dijon mustard. Set aside.
- When meatloaf is done, let rest 5 minutes, then slice into 4 thick pieces.
- Spread butter on one side of each sourdough slice. Toast buttered side down in a skillet over medium heat until golden.
- Assemble sandwiches: spread horseradish Dijonnaise on toast, add meatloaf slices, top with caramelized onions and close with another toast slice.
- Serve with potato wedges and remaining horseradish Dijonnaise for dipping.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy potato wedges, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting, then pat dry.
Don’t overmix the meatloaf mixture; it can make the meatloaf tough.
Let the meatloaf rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
FAQ
Can I use a different type of bread?

Can I make the meatloaf ahead of time?
Absolutely! Cook the meatloaf, let it cool and refrigerate. Slice and reheat in a skillet or oven before assembling sandwiches.
What can I substitute for horseradish sauce?
You can use extra Dijon mustard mixed with a little mayonnaise or add a dash of hot sauce for heat.
