Ingredients
Meatloaf and Cheese
- 6 slices leftover meatloaf (each about 1-inch thick)
- 6 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (about 1.5 cups)
Breads and Spreads
- 12 brioche slider buns (two packs of six)
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise (approximately)
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard (approximately)
Toppings
- 2 handfuls baby arugula
- 1.5 to 2 cups kettle potato chips (any flavor, depending on desired crunch)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. This will help prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Heat Meatloaf with Cheese: Arrange the leftover meatloaf slices in a single layer on the sheet pan. Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over each slice. Bake for 15 minutes or until the meatloaf is thoroughly heated and the cheese has melted and become bubbly.
- Prepare Slider Buns: Slice each brioche slider bun horizontally to create a bottom and top half, keeping the buns intact for easy assembly.
- Apply Spreads: Spread mayonnaise evenly on the cut side of each bottom bun. Spread yellow mustard on the cut side of each top bun. These spreads add creaminess and tangy flavor to the sliders.
- Assemble Sliders: Place the cheesy meatloaf slices onto the mayo-coated bottom buns (typically one slice covers two buns). Top with baby arugula and a generous layer of kettle potato chips to add freshness and crunch. Finally, place the mustard-spread top buns over the fillings to complete the sliders.
- Slice and Serve: Using a serrated knife, carefully cut the assembled sliders into individual servings. Serve immediately to enjoy the warm meatloaf, melted cheese, and crisp potato chips at their best. Enjoy!
Notes
- Leftover meatloaf slices should be about 1 inch thick for best results and easier slicing into sliders.
- Feel free to use any flavor of kettle potato chips to customize the crunch and taste.
- If you don’t have brioche buns, any soft slider buns or small sandwich rolls will work as well.
- Sliders are best served immediately to maintain the crunch of the potato chips.
