I came across this article from our local Giant Eagle on how to make a better GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH  something good for GAMEDAY or any time you want a easy and delicious snack.

5 Ways to Take Your Grilled Cheese Sandwich to the Next Level.   

Variations of bread-plus-cheese have been eaten for centuries, but the closest relative to the sandwich we know and love today started gaining popularity in the 1920s when pasteurized cheese was invented as a way to keep cheese from spoiling. With fresh, accessible cheese now available all across the country, people began enjoying open-faced grilled cheese sandwiches, until eventually it became common to add a second slice of bread on top for an easily grabbable, more substantial meal.

Today, the grilled cheese sandwich is enjoyed all over the country, with gourmet variations popping up at even the fanciest of eateries. To get your sandwiches on par with best, here are five ways to up your grilled cheese game.

1. Mayonnaise v. Butter

Some people swear by a good, salted butter to lubricate their sandwich, but if you want a slightly different take, slather a thin layer of mayonnaise on both outside parts of your bread. This will create a crispy crust that is perfect for sealing in all the delicious flavors of your sandwich. If you just can’t quit butter, try a flavored variety like truffle or garlic for a fun and tasty twist.

2. Toast The Inside Parts Of Your Bread

Getting that perfect level of toastiness on the outside of your grilled cheese is key, but you can bring your sandwich to an even higher level of perfection by toasting the sides of your bread where the cheese goes before you put the cheese on. This ensures your sandwich will be crunchy all the way around.

3. Low & Slow

Start cooking your grilled cheese on low to medium heat for a sandwich that is the perfect level of melted crispiness. Cooking your sandwich too hot could result in a crispy outside, but a barely melted center.

4. Experiment With Different Bread/Cheese Options

Everyone loves a classic white bread and American cheese combo, but if you want to play with the big boys of the grilled cheese world, think outside of the bread box. We recommend goat cheese and walnut bread, or fontina on a good hearty multigrain.

5. Add Bacon

There are tons of ingredients you can add into your grilled cheese sandwich to take it up a notch; tomatoes, deli meats, crab, grilled onions, and olives, just to name a few, but our favorite all-time grilled cheese addition has got to be bacon. Add in some crumbles to your cheese as it melts or just stick a thick slice right on top for the ultimate crowd pleaser.

Celebrate Grilled Cheese!

The good news is, it’s incredibly hard to mess up a grilled cheese. No matter how you choose to celebrate grilled cheese, be sure to try one, or more, or all of these tips and tricks for a grilled cheese you and your whole family will love.

I asked about this on another thread.  Here is what I found:

Donair

Donairs are a delicacy prevalent in the Canadian east coast, and certainly centered on the City of Halifax, they are very simple to prepare and very delicious. Make a double batch of the meatloaf, and freeze the second loaf for later, in fact the second loaf will be better! When cold you can slice it thinner and fry up the slices in the frying pan as you need them.

One of my favorites SENSATIONAL SPRING ROLLS quick and easy at only 12 minutes cook time.  Great for GAMEDAY or any get-together.   And see the link below for chicken egg rolls.

 

SERVES 6  COOK TIME. 12 MINUTES.    https://www.mrfood.com/Appetizers/Spring-Rolls-419

 

 If you love ordering spring rolls from Chinese takeout restaurants, then this is the recipe for you! Our spring rolls are easy to make and taste amazing. They're filled with a flavorful veggie mixture and fried until golden and crispy. They make a great appetizer or can be served right alongside some fried rice and your favorite takeout main dish!

What You'll Need

• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground ginger
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 6 cups shredded Chinese cabbage
• 2 cups fresh bean sprouts
• 1 large carrot, shredded
• 3 scallions (green onions), chopped
• 12 spring roll or egg roll wrappers
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• Oil for frying

What to Do

1. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic powder; mix well.
    
2. In a large bowl, combine cabbage, bean sprouts, carrot, and scallions; mix well. Pour soy sauce mixture over cabbage mixture; toss to coat well and let stand 10 minutes. Place cabbage mixture in a colander and squeeze to drain well.
    
3. Spoon about 1/4 cup cabbage mixture evenly onto center of each egg roll wrapper. Lightly brush edges of egg roll wrapper with beaten egg. Fold one corner of each egg roll wrapper up over cabbage mixture then fold both sides over, envelope fashion; roll up tightly.
    
4. Heat about 1-1/2 inches oil in a deep medium saucepan over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add spring rolls in batches and fry 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden. Drain on a paper towel-lined platter. Serve immediately, but be sure to use caution -- the filling will be hot.

Notes

• To serve these like they do in Chinese restaurants, don't forget the dipping sauce! A couple of our favorite dipping sauces are duck sauce and spicy mustard.
   
• Did You Know?: In China, spring rolls are traditionally eaten during the Chinese New Year as a way to welcome in the spring. They're also said to represent wealth (because of their golden color). Spring rolls can vary in size, filling, and cooking method (some are fried, while others are steamed), from region to region. In the U.S., spring rolls and egg rolls are pretty similar, with the main difference being the filling. While both contain veggies, egg rolls typically include some kind of meat, chicken, or fish too.

I had to ask my wife on this one to be sure her grandmother on her mother's side used to make a meatloaf and fry them up and called them  "old fashioned hamburgers" she said that they were really good.   I'm not sure on the pita but the tomato ? would be a good touch.  Do not remember the name Donair.

My grandmother used to make her "steakburger"  which was a really good burger and among other things her secret ingredient was Worcester Sauce.  I was young then. Also I never saw her use a recipe card she was the best !   Memories.

Perfect as a side dish or even a main dish for vegebutarians, Easy Caprese.

Fresh tomatoes sliced and quartered. Sliced and quartered fresh soft Mozarella from sealed casing. Add Kraft Tuscan House Italian dressing and generously sprinkle with chopped dry basil. You can also slice and halve cucumber into it as well if you like that combination. Had that last night and again planned for tonight as main dish. Amy's chock full of Mushrooms Soup for lunch. Filling with less that 200 calories for the whole can which you do not water down with milk. Has about 4-5 times the mushrooms as Campbell's and far better tasting by a country mile.?

Grilled Jalapeno Poppers with Chorizo Sausage....... great for GAMEDAY or anytime you want a delicious treat !

A smoky spin to this classic jalapeno popper. The infamous cheese base stays the same but the proteins change - each as crispy, creamy, and cheesy as the last.  This recipe uses all-natural, certified humane chorizo with brandy sausage, but you can experiment with sugar-free bacon and maple-cured ham as well. The only limit is your own imagination, that - or you need a bigger grill.

Ingredients

• 1, 12oz pack of certified humane chorizo with brandy sausages
• 6 fresh, jalapeno peppers, halved.
• 1 C Ricotta cheese
• ½ C cream cheese
• ½ C shredded cheddar cheese
• Pinch of garden-fresh herbs - basil, oregano, and/or thyme.

Directions:

1. Preheat grill to medium heat.

2. Put on gloves. The oils from the jalapeno pepper can cause discomfort.

3. Start by slicing the jalapeno in half lengthwise. The spice from the jalapeno is found in the inner membrane and seeds, so leave the inside intact for more heat, or remove it for a milder heat profile.

4. Combine ricotta cheese, cream cheese, and shredded cheddar in a bowl, stir until soft & smooth.

5. Add your chorizo with brandy sausage to the cheese, stir until mixed.

6. Stuff your jalapeno peppers with the cheese and sausage blend. Don’t be shy.

7. Place the jalapeno peppers on the grill, pepper side down (using upper racks if possible). Grill for 5 to 7 minutes, just long enough to soften the pepper and melt the cheese. Do not flip.

8. Remove from the grill and let stand for several minutes. Sprinkle with garden-fresh herbs like basil, thyme, or oregano, and enjoy.
