Grill me up, Scotty

I confess that when I first read the note, I didn't expect much. Then I saw the picture. Looking good! Also, it reminded me of an impromptu version of a patty melt that I'd like to recommend.
I like to make more meat loaf than my family can eat (hard to do), so that I'll have plenty left over for meat loaf sandwiches. Typically, I just slice the cold meat loaf thinly, and build a sandwich with mayo, lettuce, tomato and onion.
But I just tried this instead: I used Pepperidge Farm pumpernickel. I put a thin layer of mayo on both pieces of bread, Then I sliced some thin meat loaf (mine is LOADED with onion and celery) and put it on the bread along with sliced Havarti cheese. Then I grilled the sandwich in butter. The oniony meatloaf stands up to the strong taste of the pumpernickel and havarti melts into a fine, mild, creamy goo. Mmm.

With Turkey Day coming up, try this sandwich of my creation.
Toast raisin bread, spread cream cheese on both slices. Spread cranberry sauce on top of creem cheese, or thinly slice the canned log and put on top of the cream cheese. Pile up leftover roasted turkey, white meat is best.
Enjoy.
