Choices of Cheese

In this recipe, I used Colby/Jack shredded cheese. However, use the cheese you like. There are so many options to choose from. These are some wonderful melting cheeses:

  • American
  • Cheddar
  • Mozzarella
  • Gruyere
  • Provolone
  • Muenster
  • Colby
  • Jack

Recipe Hints

The meatloaf cuts better if it is cold. Therefore, make sure that you refrigerate the meatloaf before cutting. I like to warm the meatloaf and cheese a bit in the microwave before grilling so the bread does not get overdone trying to warm the meat and melt the cheese. Lastly, I use a non-stick pan for this so I can make sure that all the gooey cheese comes out of the pan with the meat so we can enjoy it all.

Sandwich Serving Options

As you can see from the photos, I have not added any extra condiments. The meatloaf recipe that I make has a wonderful topping already on it and that gives enough flavor for me in this leftover meal. However, there are so many options on what you can add to this sandwich.

  • Mustard
  • Mayonnaise
  • Onions
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato
  • Pickles
  • Thousand Island Dressing
  • French Dressing

Serve with Hashbrowns

Today, we made homemade hash browns too. We make these restaurant style hash browns all the time at home. when pairing these potatoes with this tasty meatloaf sandwich, well, it is just like eating in a fancy restaurant. Amazing combination! Get the Recipe for the Crispy Homemade Hash Browns here.

Instructions

  • Put the two slices of meatloaf on a plate with the cheese on top. Microwave just until the cheese is melted. About 50 seconds. (This will also take the chill off the meatloaf. Doing this will help ensure that the meatloaf will be warmed through when the bread is done grilling).
  • Butter two slices of bread. Place one slice with the butter side down in a frying pan that is on medium heat. Add the warmed meatloaf. Add the other slice of bread on top of the meatloaf with the butter side up.
