sandwich essentials: bacon, cheese, pickle on rye
This is what I would describe as my “kicked up” version of a grilled cheese. My cheese of choice is sharp cheddar; however, choose whatever type you fancy. Easy/Peasy to make, and the siracha gives it a bit of heat. And, something great to go along with this would be some yummy tomato soup. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
