Potato Chip Grilled Cheese (of course bacon is optional)


Ingredients 


2 pieces of bread 

3 slices of American Cheese
thinly sliced pickle slices, dabbed dry
1 thin slice of tomato
Good handful of potato chips (Ridged chips work best)
tablespoon of butter

Directions

(Assemble bottom to top: bread, cheese 1, pickles, tomato, cheese 2, chips, cheese 3, bread)

Heat 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium heat, once bubbling carefully add your sandwich.

Lightly press the sandwich down with a spatula or here I used a pot lid just to apply a little pressure to the sandwich.

After about 3-4 minutes, lift sandwich up, add the other 1/2 tablespoon of butter and flip the sandwich to grill the other side. (At this point you may want to turn the heat to low...you don't want the sandwich to cook too quickly because you need the cheese to melt...)

Again, apply light pressure to the sandwich.

After another 3-4 minutes or so, turn off the heat. (If cheese still isn't totally melted, allow the sandwich to sit in the pan covered for a few more minutes.)

Slice with a serrated knife and enjoy

Cheetos Crispy Treats



Description

These seem to work... depending on what flavor Cheeto you get... I'm guessing you could also use ANY other chip too...


Ingredients

  • 2 bags (9 oz. each) Cheetos Crunchy snacks
  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 (10 oz.) bag miniature marshmallows

Directions

Lightly spray a 9-x13-inch baking dish; set aside.
Open a bag of Cheetos to let the air out. Scrunch the opening back up to close, then crushed the bags to break up the Cheetos in roughly smaller pieces. Repeat with the second bag then set aside.
In a large sauce pan, melt the butter. Once melted, add the marshmallows and continue to heat over medium low heat, stirring constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth. Immediately, and quickly, stir in the two bags of Cheetos (or just 1 1/2 bags if you want them more gooey). Continue to gently mix until the marshmallows are evenly distributed.
Transfer immediately to the prepare baking dish and press to evenly spread. Let cool, then cut into squares.

Cheesesteak egg rolls - Philly Roll

Let me tell I have had this idea on my mind for a while.  That crunch that you get from an egg roll and the food that I grew up on The Philly Cheesesteak. (Ironically I am still upset that my sisters stole money from me when I was a kid so they could get a Cheesesteak.....sorry I got off track!)

Here is the mushrooms and onions.

Then I added the meat to cook with mushrooms & onions for the filling. 


Now I added the meat and pepperjack cheese before folding up and frying. 

Now that jawn is ready. (Jawn is a Philly term that basically can replace the subject in which you are speaking about.) So this Philly cheesesteak egg roll is what I have named "Philly Roll".
