The Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich

The Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich

The Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich

The perfect combination of cheese, bacon and onions make this grilled cheese sandwich one to be desired by many.

Ingredients:

Directions:

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 Tbsp of butter. Add onions and 1 tsp of Slap Ya Mama Low Sodium Blend Seasoning. Stirring consistently, sauté onions until they are golden brown and soft. Remove from pan and set aside on a plate.

Using the same skillet, fry the bacon until crispy. Remove from pan and set aside on a paper towel covered plate to let drain.

In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Slap Ya Mama Cajun Pepper Sauce and ½ tsp of Slap Ya Mama Low Sodium Blend Seasoning. Mix well and set aside.

Sandwich Assembly: Spread mayo mixture on the inside of each slice of bread. Working from the bottom slice up, add 4 pieces of bacon, 2 slices of cheese, onions, 4 pieces of bacon, 2 more slices of cheese and top with a slice of bread. Using softened butter, spread 1 Tbsp of butter on the outside of the top slice of bread.

In a skillet over medium-low heat, place sandwich butter side down. Butter the top side of the sandwich with another 1 Tbsp and continue grilling sandwich on both sides until the bread is golden brown and the inside of the sandwich is ooey gooey with melted cheese.

Using a sharp serrated knife, cut sandwich in half and enjoy.

NOTE:  This recipe will make 2 large grilled cheese sandwiches due to the fact that we used larger than normal slices of bread.  If using regular sized slices of bread, this recipe may make 4 sandwiches total.

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, rinsed
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup half & half
  • 2 tsp butter, melted

In the bowl of sweet potatoes, add half & half, butter, Slap Ya Mama and jalapeños. Mix well, making sure to mash potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Once the skins have baked for 10 minutes, remove from oven and fill each half with equal amounts of the mashed sweet potato mixture. Mix the two cheeses together and top each potato skin with cheese. Place back in oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is completely melted. Remove from oven, generously top with bacon, a dollop of sour cream and chives.
