What Are Beef Sandwich Triangles?

Think of them as meatloaf meets grilled cheese—but shaped into tidy triangles and baked to perfection. This Italian-inspired creation skips traditional bread and instead uses seasoned ground beef as the outer layer. Inside, you'll find layers of smoky scamorza cheese and delicate ham. They're baked until golden on the outside and irresistibly gooey inside—ideal for dinner, parties, or packed lunches.

Pro Tips for the Best Beef Sandwich Triangles

• Use parchment paper: It makes rolling and transferring the beef layers much easier.
• Chill before baking: This helps the triangles hold their shape during cooking.
• Don’t skip the breadcrumbs: They bind the mixture and keep it firm.
• Substitute cheeses: Provolone or mozzarella work well if scamorza isn’t available.
• Make it spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chili powder to the meat mix.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Make These in Advance?

Yes! Prepare and fill the triangles, then store them in the fridge (covered) for up to 24 hours before baking.

What If I Don’t Have Scamorza Cheese?

You can use mozzarella, provolone, or any meltable cheese you like.

Do I Need to Use Cooked Ham?

Yes, cooked ham is best. You can also use turkey, prosciutto cotto, or another deli meat.

Can I Pan-Fry Instead of Bake?

Baking is best for even cooking, but you could air-fry them in batches or lightly pan-fry each triangle and then finish in the oven.

How Can I Make This Gluten-Free?

Use gluten-free breadcrumbs or almond flour instead of traditional breadcrumbs.

How to Store Beef Sandwich Triangles

Let them cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes to maintain their crisp exterior and melty center.

How to Freeze Beef Sandwich Triangles

Arrange the uncooked triangles on a tray and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months. Bake directly from frozen at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and heated through.

How to Make Cheesy Beef Sandwich Triangles

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, salt, and chopped herbs. Mix well.

Stir in Parmesan, then gradually add breadcrumbs until the mixture is firm but pliable.

Divide the meat into two portions. Place each between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out into two equal rectangles.

On one rectangle, evenly lay out slices of scamorza cheese and ham.

Carefully place the second beef rectangle on top, pressing the edges to seal. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Using a sharp knife, cut the chilled slab into triangle shapes.

Place triangles on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake at 356°F (180°C) for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Let cool slightly, then serve warm with dipping sauces or a side salad.
