Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sammich!

[DougGuy]

I think I have made the ultimate grilled cheese sammich!!! OMG it was DELICIOUS!! I will have to make this when I make a pot of chili but tonite it was served with hearty tomato soup, SO good!!!

This is Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar inside of artisan 3 Cheese Bread, with shredded New York Sharp Cheddar cooked onto the outside. Yeah the crispy bits are worth fighting over....

I do have a weakness for grilled cheese.

[45workhorse]

Grilled cheese on cast iron, two of my favorite things!

[Minerat]

Add bacon to it. Had one the other day at a local grill on a whim. The bacon was fried first so it was crisp. Not sure I'll eat another cheese sammich again without bacon. Yuuuummmmyyyy!

[DougGuy]

I can see bacon on this grilled cheese. That would be wickedly good! I can also see, smell, and taste bacon and a FRIED GREEN TOMATO on this grilled cheese too!

Now let's get JIGGY wid it! :bigsmyl2:

I used smoked beef brisket in my GC sandwiches.. Also do the cheese inside and then melt/bake cheese on the outside like the pix.

That and a big bowl of chili goes down good on a cold (?) AZ night!

Nice pix!

Here is is 10:30PM and I am getting the munchies!!!!!!!

[Grmps]

I like putting a slice of ham in with the cheese
I've liked fried cheese since I was a wee lad

[Skipper]

You forgot the Ortegas

Put a fried egg and bologna on it. Besides grits, the grilled cheese sandwich is the second most customizable food there is. Bon' appetite.

When you start putting anything but cheese and bread on that skillet, it's not a grilled cheese anymore, it's a grilled sandwich! Ever hear of a cubano or panini? There great, they have cheese on them, but there NOT A GRILLED CHEESE!

That's a fine looking grilled cheese sammich you got going there DougGuy!

My granddaughter went home and proclaimed to her mom, "make my grilled cheese like papaw". She called me and I told her, "you can't do it, because you don't buy butter"!

[William Yanda]

What? No bacon?

[Smoke4320]

DougGuy That's one mighty fine sandwich you have there ..

[MrWolf]

I make mine with pepper jack cheese. That and a nice hot bowl of split pea or bean with bacon hits the spot.

[georgerkahn]

To contrast your delightfully looking sandwich, on the job we often made our version. Two slices of bread put in toaster, as a couple of slices of sliced cheese were taken out of fridge. When toast popped up, the cheese is simply placed between the two slices, and then placed on a piece of paper towel in the microwave, where it is nuked for 15 to 20 seconds. Bion, it's not an unhealthy prep as there's no butter or margarine used on bread, or in pan. Very quick, easy, no pots or pans, and after eating it, the paper towel "plate" now becomes your napkin, which is further recycled in a trouser pocket for future use. For kicks, you may wish to try it... and discover how good it is!

Nope the Springfield Sandwich tops it(named for a Cafe in a town I worked in)

2 slices sourdough bread(they baked their own daily)
Slightly shredded leftover roast beef
Sliced tomato
Swiss cheese(aged is best!)
Thousand Island dressing
Butter

Butter the outside of the bread and lay both slices in a pan butter side down
Put cheese on both
One just one side add thousand island dressing, sliced tomato, roast beef(warmed in broth)

Grill until cheese is melted and bread is nicely browned then flip the cheese only side on top of the other side. Do NOT try to build this and flip it to cook the other side, you will make a mess! A sandwich press works for this really well if you want to assemble then cook.

Serve with a cold beer and beer batter onion rings! This was lunch at least once a week when I worked in that town and it was so filling I often skipped supper. When assembled it is about 2" thick! Yes use that much roast beef!

That's NOT a grilled cheese sandwich, it's a grilled sandwich with cheese and tomato![smilie=b:

Good point! Grilled Cheese is Grilled Cheese Only! Add ons make it a plain sandwich.

[DocSavage]

Looks delicious. I can hear the cardiac surgeons applauding with glee. But on the other hand what's life with out a bit of pain and pleasure.

[dverna]

I am with Thundarstick....once embellishments are added, it is no longer a cheese sandwich.

[gwpercle]

I love them made in a waffle iron....don't know why but they seem to taste better.
My brother and I ruined my mom's electric waffle iron making grilled cheese sandwiches in it....after we used it for making a bunch of grilled cheese the waffles would stick....the top stuck to the top iron and the bottom stuck to the bottom iron and you had to scrape the whole mess out.... this was way before non-stick surfaces was invented.
Mom was madder than a wet hen .
The iron was still OK for grilled cheese...but nothing else.

[Loudenboomer]

just looking at Doug's nice old griddle gets me all reved up! :)

[buckwheatpaul]

DougGuy....you hit my favorite combination......I'll have to try that sammich without letting my doctor knowing how much cheese I consumed! Thanks for show and tell....if I could get the aroma smell and the taste!

[Hardcast416taylor]

I can`t believe that nobody mentioned putting some horse radish on one inner side before putting the 2 sides together, and yes some Canadien bacon is a nice addition too.Robert

[Walter Laich]

So, if I looked at a picture of bacon while I ate a grilled cheese sandwich would it be counted as a grilled cheese sandwich or not?

[redhawk0]

I've been making mine with horseradish cheddar. A thin slice of onion (inside) and a squirt of dijon mustard makes it perfect.
