Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1–2 teaspoons chopped chipotle chile from canned chipotles (see notes)
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from the can (see notes)
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
- 4 slices leftover meatloaf, 1/3 inch thick
- 8 slices Italian bread or white bread
- 4 slices white American cheese
- 4 slices baby Swiss
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Pickles (optional)
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, mix ketchup, chopped chipotle chile, adobo sauce, and balsamic vinegar.
- Layer American Cheese, meatloaf, Swiss, and pickles on bread. Top with bread slice creating four sandwiches.
- Butter tops and bottoms of the sandwiches.
- Brown in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cover with foil while cooking so the cheese melts properly and the sandwich warms.

Cooking Tip: To adjust the spice level, start with 1 teaspoon of chopped chipotle chile and taste the ketchup mixture before adding more.
Note: Adobo sauce is the rich, flavorful sauce from canned chipotle chiles. Adjust the quantity based on your spice preference.
