Eat the
third slice of bacon
Cut sandwich
on a diagonal and plate

Easy and
delicious!
Wonder how much cholesterol is in a sandwich like that. It does sound delicious though. One summer in my high school days we lived on toasted sandwiches with mayo, lettuce, tomato and cheese, not the sliced cheese but a good hunk of cheddar cheese on the sandwich. Totally delicious and never made it since that summer.

Nom nom! Velveeta is perfect for grilled cheese. When Hick's older boys were younger, he made them grilled cheese when I wasn't home. Their first question was, "Where's the cheese?" Hick had used one of those American cheese singles, in the individual wrapper.
ReplyDeleteDo NOT throw away left over tomato. Eat it while you wait for your sandwich to cook.
ReplyDeleteSounds good. Providing I can leave out the chips and beer I will have a go at this.
ReplyDeleteGrilled cheese with tomato is good, this would be better.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteI sprayed the monitor on "Ignore smoke alarm."
Priceless!
Yeah, me. too!
DeleteI don't do Velveeta. Ever. I don't know what's in that, but I'm sure it's not cheese. Some real cheese and I'm in.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ☺
I think I would need to be paid to eat that, but you enjoy, Joe!
ReplyDeleteLoved the last few instructions!!
ReplyDeleteLove how you measure butter. Before my heart went kaplooee, I would have loved that sandwich. Surprised Mrs. C let you throw out the rest of the tomato.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby is a fan of Velveeta cheese for grilled cheese-like-substance sandwiches, too. It melts very nicely, but what IS it...? NOT cheese! Even so, I love your recipe. Especially the part about ignoring the smoke alarm. You're a funny guy. Gonna include some grilled Spam recipes in your book? That's what my hubby made for the kids on those rare occasions I went anywhere without them. (tantamount to child abuse...)
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious and artery clogging.
ReplyDeleteHow unimaginative — a recipe in which you can’t substitute! Where’s your spirit of adventure and exploration with such a culinary delight?
ReplyDeleteExchange the Velveeta stuff for smoked Gouda cheese... *licks lips*
