Dinner In A Pinch:Assembly Line Grilled Cheese!

by Stephanie on April 7, 2009

I planned on making a pot roast for dinner last night. I was already running late and when I began to get it ready for the oven it was still slightly frozen. Uh oh! It was a rainy, cold night so I thought grilled cheese and leftover ham sounded good. So here is my assembly line grilled cheese:

Melt the butter:

Lay out the ingredients:

Brush the bread slices with the melted butter:

Place the bread, cheese and ham (if using) in preheated skillet:

Put the top slice on and grill until golden brown. Voila! Dinner in a pinch is served (with some tater tots on the side):

PennyW in KS April 8, 2009 at 2:29 am: When I was feeding 3 teenage boys (with bottomless stomachs) I would brush butter on one side of the bread, place on cookie sheet, put on cheese and ham or turkey, butter the top slice and put it on top (butter side up), then broil. Watch the sandwiches closely, when the top starts to brown up; flip and finish on that side. They loved them, and I could make 7 at a time….I certainly didn’t have a pan or skillet large enough to do that LOL
