Ingredients

- 1 cup cheese sauce
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1/2 cup pickles, sliced (optional, for serving)
How to Make Cheesy Layered Sandwich Stack
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced onions, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
- While the onions are cooking, slice the sandwich rolls in half horizontally. If desired, spread Dijon mustard on the insides of the rolls for added flavor.
- Layer half of the shredded cheese on the bottom half of each roll. Top with a generous spoonful of caramelized onions, followed by the remaining cheese and a drizzle of cheese sauce.
- Place the top half of the rolls on each stack. Arrange the stacked sandwiches on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Slice the stacks into individual sandwiches and serve with pickles if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure to cook the onions low and slow to achieve the best caramelization.
- Use a variety of cheeses for a more complex flavor profile.
- Don’t overfill the sandwiches; keep them manageable to stack and eat.
Easy Variations
- Swap the cheddar for mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor.
- Add sliced tomatoes or cooked bacon for extra layers of flavor.
- Experiment with other toppings like sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
What to Serve With It
- A crisp green salad to balance the richness of the sandwich.
- Sweet potato fries for a comforting side.
- A side of your favorite dipping sauce, like ranch or marinara.
