How to Make Loaded Meat and Cheese Sandwich

- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese generously over the meats.
- Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side up, creating two sandwiches.
- Carefully place the sandwiches in the preheated skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the sandwiches and cook for another 4-5 minutes, pressing down slightly with a spatula, until the cheese is melted and the other side is golden brown.
- If desired, slice the sandwiches in half and serve with mustard or horseradish sauce on the side.
Tips for the Best Results
