2 Quick Hot Meals for a Winter Day
Or Any Day when You Are Short on Time!
Grilled Cheese sandwiches and Hot Tomato Soup
Heat seasoned iron skillet on high (bread should not stick to skillet)
Lightly butter 2 slices of bread
Grill in hot skillet (butter side down) until lightly toasted. Reduce heat slightly.
Take 1 slice of bread and add a small amount of mustard (for spice) and 1 thick slice of Velveeta cheese to the toasted side of bread. (You "kinda" have to be quick here)
Put the other slice of bread (toasted side) to the cheese
Butter one side of sandwich and place in skillet (butter down)
Butter top side and turn when toasted
This assures that all 4 sides of the bread is buttered and toasted. It really makes a wonderful difference. Serve with hot steamy tomato soup. For richer soup just use ½ milk and ½ water. Serve sandwiches with a few dill pickle slices. Keep the skillet hot because there will be requests for more! When serving to company or several teenagers, these sandwiches are best hot so I just keep them coming until everyone yells "enough". The soup is best kept hot in a tureen on the table of just on the stove so everyone can help themselves to more. You can develop a family legacy with this one!
Beans, Franks and Cheese
The other recipe is so easy it is "sinful".
Open 4 - 15 oz. cans of Campbell pork & beans (1 can per serving) and heat on medium
Add 1 pound of frankfurters (I use turkey franks) sliced small
Cook until heated. The franks will "puff up" when hot
When hot add 4 ozs. of Velveeta cheese (cut up)
Reduce heat and stir until the cheese is melted.
My guys never wanted anything with this except bread. How easy can it get and they love this stuff! They especially love this during football season since they can take a bowl into the living room and watch the games while eating.
These are two recipes that my husband, children and now my grandchildren enjoy. I enjoy them because they are so quick and easy. Grandma's house was always known for the best of food! Yours can be too.
