Last month, I made a Vegan Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey Sandwich which was a huge hit. So I decided to prepare this amazing vegan leftover meatloaf sandwich after Christmas.
To make it vegan and gluten-free, use my flavorful or Lentil Meatballs recipe to prepare this absolutely delicious Vegan Meatloaf Sandwich.
What To Be Put On A Vegan Meatloaf Sandwich?
All you need is:
- Lentil loaf slices – cut leftover Lentil Loaf into 1/4-1/2 inch slices.
- Bread – I used gluten-free vegan bread.
- Cranberry sauce – I prefer to use homemade versions of cranberry sauce for the best flavor and fresh ingredients. Here are some of our Favorite Cranberry Sauces.
- Vegan cheese slices – you can use store-bought vegan cheese, there are many on the market here in the supermarkets in the USA. Here is our Homemade Vegan Cheese.
- Vegan Mayonnaise – this is optional but added a lovely creamy flavor to your sandwich. This creamy Homemade Vegan Mayonnaise is the answer.
How To Make A Vegan Meat Loaf Sandwich?
- Heat oil in a skillet on medium-high, add a slice of lentil loaf, and cook on both sides until heated through.
- Spread 1 slice of bread ( I used a local gluten-free vegan bread) with vegan mayonnaise, I love to use Just Mayo by Hampton Creek or a healthier homemade Vegan Ranch.
- Top with a slice of red onion, followed by a slice of lentil loaf.
- Place a slice of vegan cheese on top of lentil loaf. For store-bought, love Chao, Follow Your Heart, or Daiya brands.
- Spread a dollop of cranberry sauce and top with the other slice of bread.
You can also make a grilled meatloaf sandwich if you prefer, spread vegan butter on tops and bottoms of sandwiches, and brown in a skillet over medium-low heat.
