A cozy classic gets the ultimate comfort‑food glow‑up. Thick, tender slices of homestyle meatloaf are seared until the edges caramelize, then tucked between buttery slices of griddled bread. A generous layer of sharp cheddar melts into every nook, while a swipe of tangy ketchup glaze adds that familiar, nostalgic sweetness. As the sandwich toasts, the cheese cascades around the meatloaf like a warm blanket, turning each bite into a rich, savory hug. It’s hearty, melty, and deeply satisfying—like Sunday dinner and a grilled cheese decided to become best friends.
