Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat, add sliced yellow onions, sauté for about 8 minutes until golden brown, then set aside.
  2. Add another 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet, place cold slices of leftover meatloaf, and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until browned and heated through.
  3. Butter one side of each slice of bakery white bread, place in the skillet butter-side down, toast for about 3 minutes until golden, adding cheese on top to melt.
  4. Assemble the sandwich by layering seared meatloaf, sautéed onions, and a spoonful of sauce between the slices of toasted bread. Press down gently and serve warm.

Notes

Let leftover meatloaf chill in the fridge for cleaner cuts. Avoid overcrowding the skillet while cooking to achieve a nice crust. Assemble sandwiches just before serving for the best texture.
