His Drewness's "Cholesterol Heaven" Grilled Sandwich About This Page:

[Her Dotness]

Ingredients:

2 slices bread (plain ol' white bread is fine, homemade even better)
Butter or margarine
2 slices American or other cheese (I think cheddar or Gouda would be good, but he wanted American.)
1 thick slice bacon or 2 thin slices, chopped
Half a medium yellow onion, coarsely chopped (about the size of bacon pieces)
An 8" and another skillet big enough to hold the bread slices flat

Dump onions and bacon into smaller skillet and place over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and assure the bacon cooks evenly. Add a bit of oil as needed to cook the onion.

Meanwhile, heat larger skillet over about 2/3 the heat you'd use to make a grilled cheese sandwich. The point is to brown the outer bread surfaces slowly enough that they won't get too brown before the cheese melts.

Butter bread on both sides, lay in skillet and top each with cheese slice. Cover to melt cheese more quickly.

Lower heat on bacon and onion if needed to keep it quite warm.

Check bread frequently to see if it's browning nicely and cheese is melting.

When bread and cheese are done to your liking, top one slice with bacon and onion and make sandwich with other cheesy bread slice.

I think a good mayo or garlic aioli would be better than butter beneath the cheese, but do what suits you.

Enjoy, and try not to think about what your doctor would say about such a sandwich.

I think this sounds yummy.

And yes a nice gouda or gruyere would be lovely as well

You could pressed shredded cheese (sharp cheddar is great) into the buttered sides before you lay them in the pan - OMG! So good. You don't actually even need the butter.

we'll not do the onion, but I think i am going to try this this weekend...

Where did HisDrewness get that sandwich? Or did he come up with that?

[Her Dotness]

One grandmother used to make him bacon-onion sandwiches with mayo on toast when he was a kid.

He thought of making a double grilled cheese with the bacon-onion, too.

It's sort of healthy..... lol

Uh-huh. Only because everything in it people can eat.

How many times does HisDrewness ask for this to be made?

And since you both are such foodies, I can only imagine what you can create in your kitchen for dinner? Yum-O lol

Maybe you should start a post of what YOU make for dinner every night, Dot! That might give me some lovely ideas.....lol

Rarely, actually. He usually wants just the bacon-onion with mayo on toasted bread.

Actually, I tend to throw together pretty simple stuff most of the time. Tonight, it was pan-broiled Saratoga ribeyes with garlic-sautéed spinach, and frozen corn cooked in a bit of soy sauce.

I have about three dozen dried herbs and spices so often just enhance flavors with whatever I think might be good.

However, tomorrow night we're having chicken francese with an Emeril recipe for morel mushrooms with fresh asparagus wrapped with prosciutto. Those I do from recipes. Morels are much too pricey to screw up by this-n-that cookery.

If you want to try a recipe I sort of created, here's a link:

I make this stuff whenever I can find the frozen mini-seafood mixture. It's fabulous in cold or hot weather either one and very healthy, too.
