MEATLOAF GRILLED CHEESE
This meatloaf grilled cheese sandwich is the ultimate comfort food mash-up! Crispy bread, melty cheese, and savory slices of meatloaf create a hearty, flavourful meal that's perfect for using up leftovers in a fun way.
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough or sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- 4 slices cheddar cheese or cheese of choice
- 2 thick slices cooked meatloaf
- 1 tablespoon ketchup or BBQ sauce optional
- Pickles or onions optional, for extra flavour
Instructions
Prepare the Bread:
- Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Assemble the Sandwich:
- Place one slice of cheese on the unbuttered side of a bread slice. Add a slice of meatloaf, optional sauce, another cheese slice, and top with the second bread slice, buttered side out.
Grill the Sandwich:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwich for 3–5 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve:
- Let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm with chips, soup, or a pickle on the side.
Notes
Make Ahead:
Cooked meatloaf can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Slice and use as needed for sandwiches. Customizing the Flavor:
Try adding sautéed onions, bacon, or a spicy aioli to elevate the sandwich. Serving Suggestions:
Perfect with tomato soup, fries, or a crisp side salad. Allergy-Friendly Options:
Use gluten-free bread and dairy-free cheese to adapt for dietary needs. Storage Tips:
Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be wrapped and reheated in a skillet for crispiness.
