Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside. In a small bowl mix together ketchup and Sriracha. Divide mixture into 2 bowls containing 3/4 cup and 1/2 cup.

In the bowl of a food processor add onion, carrot, celery, parsley, and garlic. Pulse until combined, then transfer into a large mixing bowl. Add 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, panko, and egg; mix with a spoon or by hand. Add meat and 1/2 cup Sriracha ketchup; mix by hand until just incorporated.

Divide meatloaf into 4 equal parts. Shape each in to a rectangle about 1" high; place on parchment paper. Spread 1 tablespoon ketchup on each piece using back of a spoon or a brush. Bake for 20 minutes.

Assemble sandwiches by layering lettuce, tomato, red onion, and meatloaf between 2 pieces of bread. Serve with remaining 1/2 cup Sriracha ketchup.
