Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Coat a 6×3-inch mini loaf pan with nonstick spray.

For the tomato sauce, sauté bell pepper, onion, cumin, garlic, and bay leaf in oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until soft, 4–5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, ketchup, parsley, and Worcestershire; season with salt and black pepper.

Simmer sauce until thickened, 8–10 minutes; let cool slightly. Discard bay leaf.

For the meatloaf, soak panko in milk in a bowl for the binder.

Gently mix chuck, pork, 1⁄3 cup tomato sauce, egg, thyme, 1⁄2 tsp. salt, 1⁄2 tsp. black pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, and soaked panko in a large bowl just until combined.

Transfer mixture to prepared pan and bake meatloaf until firm and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165°, about 45 minutes.

Remove meatloaf from oven; let cool to room temperature and slice into 6 slices, then quarter each slice. Serve meatloaf on toasts, dollop with sauce, and top with gherkins.
