For extra flavor, try using a garlic butter spread on the bread before grilling. Experiment with different cheeses, such as Gruyere, Fontina, or Pepper Jack. Add a layer of caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms for a gourmet twist. If you don't have leftover meatloaf, you can use sliced deli meatloaf or even ground beef seasoned with meatloaf spices.
