Super Kicked Up Grilled Cheese Sammie

Florida Grillin Girl

I love grilled cheese sandwiches, just so ya know.

I got this idea from Food Network Magazine. It calls for pulled pork, but I used leftover rib meat, instead. YES, on a grilled cheese sandwich!

I egged ribs, some of you know I am not a rib fan, but I made them for some neighbors, and kept a few for the disinterested teenager, just in case...

St. Louis ribs on the large, this was while watching that nice wedding on Friday~



The bend test~



Finishing with the sauce, Daisy pig was checking it out~



So, today, for the sammies, I carmelized some sweet onions in some butter;



And started to build the sandwich in the cast iron pan.

First the bread, outside spread with mayo, then the sliced cheddar cheese, the rib meat along with some sauce (Sweet Baby Rays), then the onions, messy looking pic:



Add some leftover Mac and cheese on top:



Some more sliced cheddar, then another piece of bread, spread with mayo on the outside.

After the flip:



Sunset happened, those are oyster beds where the trees are sticking out of the water:



Served it with a Margarita (1800 tequila), shaken and poured straight up with salt, hmmm that tastes good!

I am liking leftover ribs!

Looks like you had a good time EGGing. I too did Ribs. How long did it take for your Ribs ? I did mine for almost 5 hours and they looked like your. I would prefer a more chewy rib, not as cooked. Any suggestions ?

Thank you.

Looks like you had very nice weather. We too had very nice weather.

Ahhhhhh, I swear, those pics are of comfort!!

Beli

Wowwww wowwww wowwwww Faith you are one lucky human being :laugh: the ribs are delicious but that sunset is FANTASTIC. Felicidades!!!!!!!!!

Florida Grillin Girl

Gary, 5 1/2 hours before the sauce. I did a homemade bourbon based sauce, that pic is just after I brushed the sauce on. I like them tender so I don't know what to tell you about a chewy rib.

It was a nice, but hot, day for egging. You can see from the rib pics, it was really bright out there, the camera didn't know what to do with all that bright light (neither did the camera operator!).

One of these days I'm gonna pull the bones and make myself a real Eggrib sandwich instead of the ground pork version I do now.

Looks like a wonderful meal.....and those west Florida sunsets are awesome.

Florida Grillin Girl

Molly, comfort food mac and cheese, but with bread and rib meat!

elzbth

Fabulous sunset! Ok, I admit it - I can eat mac-n-cheese with anything. I wouldn't have put this together, but darn if it does not rock!

Florida Grillin Girl

Djuffjr, rib meat sammiches are just as good as pulled pork, in my opinion. Just wait til July-August for some spectacular sensets around here!

thebtls

WOW

dhuffjr

I'm supposed to be down again in August. Maybe they'll keep delaying this shuttle and I can see it too :woohoo:

Florida Grillin Girl

dhuffjr, shuttle is the wrong coast for the sunset, but my side is only 2 1/2 hours away!
It's doable!

Love your post Faith. I see you got some nice spares cooked up. Love your sammie. How did the disinterested teenager like the ribs?

Florida Grillin Girl

Tim, thanks!

The disinterested teenager wasn't hungry for ribs when he got home. He thought the sammie tonight was "weird". I do not think I have a foodie on my hands here.

Carolina Q

Faith, you do nice work.

2Fategghead

Well maybe he is not eating you out of house and home. I was very skinny as a teenager up to my 40's.

dhuffjr

I know. We're hoping to hit the cape when we are down.

Florida Grillin Girl

Thank you, Q, for the compliment.

Florida Grillin Girl

Tim, the teenager eats, but he is still picky. I notice his tastebuds are coming around, but it is taking forever! And, he is not impressed by anything cooked on the egg even though I told him he could have the mini to take to college. What is wrong with that kid?????

Hoss

OH MY GOODNNESS!!!,as Shirley Temple would say!!! "OFF THE HOOK" Miss Faith!

Florida Grillin Girl

Hoss, Shirley Temple?? She said that, huh? I'm glad you liked it.

Florida Grillin Girl

Beli, come on over and watch the sunset from this side of the gulf!

It's no use doctor, he's gone . . . you can't save him. They say it was due to electrocution from trying to take a bit out of his computer monitor and something to do with a picture of this insanely good looking grilled cheese sandwich!!! It took three EMT's and a police dog to pry the piece of monitor from between his teeth. They were just happy it wasn't an old CRT type screen.


 

Clay Q

Wowwwww, that samitch is over the top! Makes me smile, then your cookin makes me hungry, ha ha ha.
Very nice work. And I like your Margaretta, shaken and strained into a frozen glass, no slush, just pure ice cold goodness.
The pic's of your St. Louis ribs has me dreaming of a rib cook. I have 4 in the freezer waiting for a special occasion or good weather, or both. :lol:
Thanks Faith.

Florida Grillin Girl

Too funny, Blair. That's what you get for looking at food pics in the middle of the night!

Florida Grillin Girl

ClayQ, I don't like to water down the tequila! Shaken with ice is the way to go.

I'm glad you like the sammitch.

Zippylip

Faith, that is simply amazing, I could wolf one down for breakfast right now; the final shot is over the top. Are you coming to waldorf?

Good Lord, Faith! What a sammie! :ohmy:

Egg Juju
