BAKED GRILLED CHEESE

My family loves grilled cheese so when they asked for it I wanted to try something new. This was the best grilled cheese, nice crunchy bread with melted cheese. I had to post this so I wouldn't forget it. Family loved it served with homemade milkshakes and fries. This is a great way to make a bunch at one time and the clean-up was nothing. ;)

BRITISH BAKED BEANS



British Baked Beans image

These are really good homemade baked beans (UK style, similar to Heinz baked beans here, not like Boston Baked Beans). It's a recipe which I got from Waitrose www.waitrose.com/recipes I'm putting it up here for safe keeping, this is now a firm family favourite. Please note that preparation and cooking times do not include the preparation of the beans.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

250 g pinto beans or 250 g haricot beans
200 g unsmoked back bacon (tastes better with) (optional)
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tablespoons black treacle
800 g chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato puree
parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Soak the beans in cold water for 8 hours or overnight. Then cook according to pack instructions (I leave the lid off the pan, and add a tsp of baking soda to combat the gas producing side effects of beans. It works very well). Remember to boil well for 10 minutes before simmering, or you may get a tummy upset!
  • Heat a large pan and add the bacon if using (if not using, make sure you use something else to lift the beans - more salt, a bit of chili, worcester sauce or whatever. These can also be added to the bacon version for still more flavour). Fry for 1 minute.
  • Add the onion, celery (I use celery salt) and garlic, and continue to fry for 4-5 minutes until the bacon is cooked and the onion has started to soften.
  • Stir in the chopped tomatoes, black treacle and tomato puree. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the cooked beans. Return to the boil and simmer for about 10 minutes (or put into crockpot on low to be ready and waiting later).
  • Stir in the chopped parsley then spoon over toast, into jacket potato, or whatever.
  • Freezes well.

GRILLED CHEESE RECIPE BY TASTY



Grilled Cheese Recipe by Tasty image

The secret to a perfect grilled cheese recipe? Mayonnaise! (No, really, it makes the outside crispier and tangier.) Spread butter on one side of each bread slice and mayo on the other. Sandwich the cheddar slices between the buttered sides, leaving the mayo sides on the outside. Fry for a few minutes until golden, dip into a bowl of tomato soup, and resolve to never make a grilled cheese without mayo ever again!
