Roasted Jalapeño and Chorizo Meatloaf Grilled Cheese. That’s a mouthful for sure!

This incredibly delicious sandwich has a few steps but it is worth every minute. Hot gooey cheese, spicy chorizo meatloaf, grilled tomatoes, and spicy jalapeños make this sandwich delicious! I also love the french brioche bread! This is a little more decadent than what we usually make. This is a perfect example of a compromise we reached; he still got his big burger, but it’s made with all fresh ingredients.
