Servings:
Ingredients
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 long hot pepper, sliced
  • ½ yellow onion, sliced
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 12 ounces leftover meatloaf, sliced
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 hoagie or Italian rolls, split
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 6 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 450 F.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  3. Place the bell peppers, hot pepper, onion, and garlic on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Place the meatloaf slices on the other side of the baking sheet.
  5. Drizzle the meatloaf and veggies with olive oil and vinegar, then season just the veggies with the salt, oregano, and black pepper.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 15–20 minutes, or until the veggies are tender. Reserve any pan drippings for later use.
  7. Meanwhile, place the split hoagie rolls on another aluminum-lined baking sheet with the bottom halves facing up and the top halves facing down.
  8. Once cooked, divide the meatloaf and veggies between the bottom halves of the rolls.
  9. Spoon marinara over the meatloaf and veggies.
  10. Top the sauce with mozzarella and Parmesan.
  11. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.
  12. Remove from the oven and top the sandwiches with arugula and basil. Drizzle each with a little of the reserved pan drippings before serving.
