Nothing fancy here but sometimes grilled cheese and tomato soup really hits the spot. I was going to be getting home late and the wife said she and the kids were having grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner and she would save back some soup for me and I could make my sandwich fresh when I got home. Now dont get me wrong ...white bread and american cheese slices are the classic grilled cheese i grew up on but I wanted to do something else. So a block of my smoked cheese came out of the fridge and shredded. I wanted to share how I did mine. It was really tasty.
First thing is to make the cheese filling. Pretty simple. 8oz block of smoked cheese shredded and 1/4 cup Dukes mayo. You can use whatever cheese you like. I used Colby jack this time. I like to use sharp cheader and add a small jar of pimento sometimes too. Into the stand mixer with the paddle and give it a whirl. My wifes stand mixer is another "pretty" piece of kitchen equipment that makes me feel manly when using it lol!
Then an Italian loaf sliced for the bread
Then slather a decent amount if the cheese mixture into one half and top them off with the other
Then into the cast iron with some butter
Nicely browned and crusty
Then cut in half and seved with the tomato soup.
It was really tasty and Smokey. Nice warm comforting meal to finish out my day.
Thanks for taking a look!
