WHATS ON THE MENU

IT WAS A PRETTY COLD DAY HERE TODAY. I THINK THE HIGH WAS AROUND 55..IT ALSO WAS A LATE NIGHT FOR SCOTT. SO I WANTED SOMETHING QUICK, EASY AND ABOVE ALL COMFORTING..

SO I MADE..

HOT HAM AND TURKEY SANDWICHES SERVED WITH TOMATO SOUP...

SOOOO SIMPLE!

( PLEASE EXCUSE THE PICTURES..THEY WERE TAKEN WITH MY PHONE AND MY NEW CAMERA HAD NOT ARRIVED YET!)

HERE IS BASICALLY THE THINGS I USED..

THEY ARE LISTED BELOW ONE BY ONE..

I LIKE SOURDOUGH BREAD FOR HOT SANDWICHES. ITS TASTE COMES OUT AND ITS A REALLY STURDY BREAD TO GRILL..

I ALSO PICKED UP 2 CHEESES FOR THIS PARTICULAR SANDWICH..

CHEDDAR AND MOZZARELLA..

I LEFT THEM AT ROOM TEMPERATURE FOR ABOUT 1 HR SO THEY WOULD MELT EASIER.

I JUST GRABBED SOME HILSHIRE HONEY HAM AND TURKEY BREAST..

I ALREADY HAD THIS SOUP IN THE CABINET. I KNOW ITS AN OLD KIND BUT I ACTUALLY LIKE IT A LOT. I LIKE A LOT OF OTHERS TOO BUT SINCE THIS ONE WAS ON HAND THATS WHAT I WENT WITH..I LOVE THE FAMILY SIZE BECAUSE ITS THE PERFECT AMOUNT FOR BOTH SCOTT AND MYSELF.

I GOT OUT THE GRIDDLE FOR THE SANDWICHES..

AND JUST A NON STICK POT FOR THE SOUP.

I WILL ALSO BE USING THIS BACON PRESS FOR THE SANDWICHES. A BRICK COVERED IN ALUMINUM FOIL WOULD WORK FINE..OR ANYTHING HEAVY..

FOR THE BREAD..I BUTTERED THE INSIDES..

OF ALL 4 SLICES..

ADDED THE HONEY HAM..

THE CHEDDAR CHEESE

THEN THE TURKEY AND THE MOZZARELLA

TOPPED IT WITH ANOTHER PIECE OF BREAD

AND SLABBED SOME BUTTER ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BREAD..

I PUT THE SOUP IN THE POT, ADDED ABOUT 1/2 CUP OF MILK TO MAKE IT MORE RICH..THEN WARMED IT WHILE I FINISHED THE SANDWICHES.

SPRAY THE GRILLED WITH NON STICK SPRAY AND HEAT TILL ITS ALMOST SMOKING.

ADD THE SANDWICH AND PUT THE BACON PRESS ON TOP AND PRESS DOWN..

FLIP OVER AFTER A MINUTE OR SO..

THEN FLIP IT IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION FOR THE PRETTY GRILL MARKS.

I ADDED SOME FRESH GRATED PARMESAN TO THE SOUP..

CUT THE SANDWICH IN HALF AND THAT WAS DINNER IN FRONT OF THE TV.

WE BOTH REALLY FILED UP ON THIS MEAL..

YOU COULD MAKE THIS FOR VERY LITTLE $..

IT WAS REALLY GOOD ON THAT COOL NIGHT!

GIVE IT A TRY!
