JUST ANOTHER PORK DELIVERY SYSTEM:
Easy makeovers for the grilled cheese sandwich (J.M. HIRSCH, 8/29/07, The Associated Press)
The simplicity and speed with which this classic sandwich can be assembled makes it a natural for a low-labor dinner after a long day. On its own, it's great any time of year. Paired with a bowl of tomato soup, it's perfect comfort food. [...]Posted by Orrin Judd at August 30, 2007 6:28 AM•Don't forget meat. Some thinly sliced deli meats, or shredded cooked chicken breast, go well with virtually any cheese, take no extra time and help turn the sandwich into a hearty meal.
•Bacon is divine. Cook a few strips in a skillet, then remove them from the pan, but don't drain the grease from it. Add the bacon to the sandwich and use the drippings as the fat for grilling the sandwich. Not healthy, but delicious.
•Even if bacon isn't your thing, don't automatically reach for butter. Experiment with oils such as peanut and sesame, which will lend savory, nutty flavors to the bread.
•Roll with this one: peanut butter and cheddar cheese. A little bit of each will create a warm, oozing delicious mess.
We make peanut butter sandwiches, French toast them, and drown them in syrup and powdered sugar.
It will bring tears to your eyes.
Plus, the melted peanut butter is divine.
My father's mother ran out of cheese, so she substituted the peanut butter and it has been passed down to the subsequent generations.
