Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Casserole brings together two comfort food favorites in one deliciously baked dish. Perfect for cozy dinners, this hearty casserole features crispy sourdough, melty cheese, and a savory tomato soup base.
Ingredients for this Tomato Soup And Grilled Cheese Casserole:
- 12 (½-inch thick) slices sourdough bread
- ¼ cup butter, softened (divided)
- 3 oz cream cheese, softened
- 12 slices pre-sliced Cheddar cheese
- 2 (10.5 oz) cans condensed tomato soup (e.g., Campbell’s)
- 1 cup tomato juice
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 Roma tomato, seeded and chopped into ½-inch pieces
- 1 cup shredded Italian blend or Cheddar cheese
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Build sandwiches: Butter one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side of 6 slices, spread cream cheese and add 2 slices of Cheddar. Top with remaining slices, buttered side facing out.
- Grill sandwiches in a skillet over medium heat until golden and the cheese melts, about 2–3 minutes per side. Let cool slightly and cut each sandwich into quarters.
- Assemble the Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Casserole by placing the sandwich pieces in the baking dish.
- In a bowl, whisk together tomato soup, tomato juice, eggs, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Pour evenly over the sandwich pieces.
- Top with chopped Roma tomato and shredded cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake another 10–15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Allow to rest 5–10 minutes before serving.
