Reinventing the classics is a great way to keep cooking exciting — when familiar flavors are reimagined into creative shapes and flavors, it’s nostalgic and new, all at once! This meatloaf sandwich is a great example: It calls for Bell & Evans Chicken Meatloaf, a hearty, healthy alternative to traditional meatloaf, made with simple ingredients. An umami-packed cremini mushroom gravy made with our Organic Chicken Bone Broth, acts as a basting glaze for the meatloaf, so the finished texture is perfect, and the flavor is off the charts. A thick slice atop soft bread with a drizzle of gravy and fresh herbs is comforting as can be.
Ingredients
- 1 pkg Bell & Evans Chicken Meatloaf
- 3 cups Bell & Evans Organic Chicken Bone Broth
- 2 TB Olive oil
- 1 lb Cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 Shallot, minced
- 1 TB Soy sauce
- 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 TB Chopped fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
- 4 slices Potato bread or white bread
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. While oven is preheating, heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown, about 5-8 minutes. Add shallots and soy sauce and cook, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, until shallots are softened, about 1 minute.
- Stir in flour, and cook until no lumps remain, about 1 minute. Stir in broth and thyme, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and flavors develop, about 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place meatloaf on prepared baking sheet. Bake, glazing meatloaf with gravy halfway through, until meatloaf is light golden-brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 30-35 minutes. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5 minutes before cutting into 4 slices.
- Place a slice of meatloaf on top of each slice of bread. Top with mushroom gravy. Garnish with additional thyme and serve.
- Tip: Serve with a side salad for a simple, complete meal.
