Ingredients:
For the Meatloaf:
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup bell pepper, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Grilled Cheese:
• Sliced bread
• Butter, softened
• Sliced cheddar cheese
• Sliced mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
For the Meatloaf:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a bowl, I combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, minced garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
3. I mix until well combined.
4. I transfer the mixture to a greased loaf pan, shaping it into a loaf.
5. I bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the meatloaf is cooked through.
For the Grilled Cheese:
1. Once the meatloaf is cooked, I let it cool slightly, then slice it into 1/2-inch thick slices.
2. I butter one side of each slice of bread.
3. On the non-buttered side, I place a slice of cheddar cheese, a slice of meatloaf, and a slice of mozzarella cheese.
4. I top it with another slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
5. I heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sandwich on both sides until the bread is golden brown, and the cheese is melted.
