Have you heard of a Spaghetti Sandwich? This fun grilled cheese stuffed with spaghetti is a tasty way to double purpose those leftovers!
This fun Spaghetti Sandwich was a HUGE hit with the kids last week so I thought I’d share it with you today. With the crazy times we’re living in right now, I’ve been extra vigilant about not wasting food and cooking efficiently. Because the kiddos are home all day as well (hurray for e-learning!) I’ve found myself making large batches for dinner so we have leftovers for lunch.
What is a Spaghetti Sandwich?
Simply put, a spaghetti sandwich is a Grilled Cheese on Garlic Toast stuffed to the brim with spaghetti noodles and sauce! I know it seems a bit off the wall, but it’s delicious! (You can use this easy garlic toast recipe to make it!)
These are much more popular in Australia and Japan some of my international friends have told me, but I think the US should give them a chance because they are delicious!!

Helpful Tips
- The thicker the bread, the easier it will be to keep the sandwich together. Slice a loaf of French Bread or simply choose the thickest sliced bread you can find.
- You can make this with any leftover spaghetti, with meat or meatballs in the sauce or without, whatever your preference.
- Don’t skip seasoning the bread, it really takes the flavor over the top!
