Bread-Cheese-Bread

While I love my meat, there is something to be said for a good grilled cheese sandwich. Mostly, this is the choice of vegetarian friends when we go out to the deli or In-n-Out Burger. I figured I'd spotlight this treat as the LAist tipped me off to National Grilled Cheese Month.

Their post does a good job of running down good places in LA to get one made. Personally, I like the way we did it in college when we didn't have a stove. Hell, even when we did, there weren't proper cooking utensils.

Look at this fancy guy, kitchen counter AND chopping block!

The good old ironing board grilled cheese sandwich. Slap some Kraft Singles (or Kroger brand if you're on a budget) between some Wonder Bread, slather a little butter on the outside and set the iron to "cotton" (be sure to turn off the steam). And, if you're like me, you'll douse it with a healthy dose of Worcestershire sauce. Delish!

This then, is just the stepping stone to all kinds of sandwich treats. Patty melts, tuna melts, grilled ham and cheese. Basically, just put your favorite meat in a grilled cheese sandwich and you've got a whole new kind of awesome sandwich. Or, just get fancy cheese if you're too good for American cheese, you commie bastards.
