The baked sandwich is a comforting recipe that combines traditional flavors in a dish that is easy to prepare and very nutritious. Its origin lies in the home kitchens of the United States, where it became popular as an ideal option for dinner during the cold months. In different Latin American countries, although there is no exact name that defines this preparation, it could be compared to versions of savory pies or casseroles with meat and layered bread.
In Mexico and Central America, some similar dishes are known as "meatloaf with bread," while in countries of the Southern Cone, it can be found in presentations that include bread, cheese, and meat, each with its own particular touch. The combination of ground meat, herb-seasoned stuffing cubes, and a creamy cheese mixture gives this recipe its own character and popularity, especially for sharing with the family.
