Cheesy Meatball Sandwich Melt 🍞🧀
Satisfy your cravings with this ooey-gooey cheesy meatball sandwich melt that will make your taste buds dance! Perfect for a cozy night in or a quick lunch fix.
Ingredients:
- Thick-cut sliced bread
- Shredded mozzarella & cheddar cheese
- Cooked & crumbled meatballs or ground beef
- Garlic butter (melted)
- Tomato sauce or marinara
- Italian herbs (basil, oregano)
- Salt & pepper
Instructions:
1. Prepare the meat filling: In a pan, sauté the cooked and crumbled meatballs or ground beef together with the tomato sauce, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of Italian herbs. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until heated through, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
2. Layer the sandwich: Take your thick-cut sliced bread and spread a generous amount of melted garlic butter on one side of each slice. On the unbuttered side, layer on the meat mixture, followed by plenty of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese to create a delightful cheesy goodness.
3. Grill the sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the sandwich in the pan, buttered side down. Grill each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bread turns a delicious golden brown and the cheese becomes melty and gooey.
4. Slice & garnish: Remove the sandwich from the skillet and cut it diagonally for that perfect presentation. For a pop of flavor, sprinkle some fresh basil or parsley on top before serving.
5. Serve & enjoy: This cheesy meatball sandwich melt is a match made in heaven paired with a side of marinara for dipping. Enjoy every warm, cheesy bite!
