  • Add the bread slices to the pan and toast until golden. (Only cook the bread on one side.)

  • Leave two slices of bread in the skillet and spread the 1/2 the horseradish sauce over each slice.
  • Divide the onions evenly between the two slices and top each slice with the meatloaf.
  • Divide the cheese evenly between the two sandwiches and top the meatloaf with the cheese.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil until the cheese melts, approximately 2 minutes.
  • Spread the remaining horseradish sauce on the remaining bread slices.
  • Top the sandwiches with the lettuce and the remaining bread, horseradish side down.
  • Cut in half and serve immediately.
