  • Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

Scale

To create this comforting casserole, you’ll need:

    • 12 (½-inch thick) slices sourdough bread

    • ¼ cup butter, softened, divided

    • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened

    • 12 slices pre-sliced Cheddar cheese

    • 2 (10.5-ounce) cans condensed tomato soup (such as Campbell’s)

    • 1 cup tomato juice

    • 2 large eggs

    • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

    • 1 Roma tomato, seeded and chopped into ½-inch pieces

    • 1 cup shredded Italian blend or Cheddar cheese

Instructions

    1. Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 450°F (230°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

    1. Prepare the Grilled Cheese:

        • Spread butter on one side of 6 slices of bread.

        • Place buttered side down on a baking sheet.

        • Spread cream cheese over each slice and top with 2 slices of Cheddar cheese.

        • Place the remaining bread slices on top and butter the exposed sides.

        • Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, flipping once, until the sandwiches are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

    1. Cool and Cut: Let sandwiches cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting them into 1-inch cubes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).

    1. Make the Soup Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together tomato soup, tomato juice, eggs, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Stir in chopped Roma tomato.

    1. Assemble the Casserole:

        • Pour the soup mixture into the prepared baking dish.

        • Evenly distribute the grilled cheese cubes over the soup mixture, pressing them slightly to submerge.

        • Sprinkle with shredded Italian blend or Cheddar cheese.

    1. Bake: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the cheese is melted and the casserole is golden brown.

    1. Serve and Enjoy: Let cool slightly before serving for best texture.
