Instructions

Preheat the pan: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat to prepare for grilling the sandwiches evenly without burning.
Butter the bread: Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice to help achieve a golden, crispy crust when cooked.
Assemble the sandwich base: Place two bread slices butter-side down onto the heated skillet as the base of each sandwich.
Add fillings: Layer the sliced meatloaf evenly over the bread, then top each with one or two slices of cheddar cheese to ensure a gooey melt.
Top the sandwiches: Place the remaining bread slices on top of the filling, butter side up, to complete the sandwich layers.
Cook the sandwiches: Grill the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula to promote even cooking and melting of cheese until the bread is golden brown.
Serve: Remove sandwiches from the skillet, allow them to cool slightly, then slice and serve warm with optional ketchup or BBQ sauce for dipping.

Notes

Use leftover meatloaf for convenience and robust flavor.
Butter on the bread ensures a crispy exterior and richer taste.
Adjust cheese quantity as desired for more or less cheese melt.
Can be served with ketchup, BBQ sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for best cooking results and easy flipping.
