Cleveland Fried Bologna Sandwich

Eat Street is just about the only food-related show I still watch on TV. I love food trucks. We’re fortunate to have several great ones here in Indianapolis. A recent episode, Monster Menus, highlighted the Nosh Box truck from Cleveland, Ohio. The Cleveland fried bologna sandwich they made looked fantastic. I had to make it. So I did.

This is one great fried bologna sandwich. Like eating a burger, with creamy mayo, mixed greens and nice cold tomato slices. Then there’s the just-brown fried bologna. All on grilled cheese-like Texas toast. Really good. And very easy to make too.

Cleveland Fried Bologna Sandwich

The second time I made these Cleveland fried bologna sandwiches I substituted a couple of nice chunks of iceberg lettuce for the mixed greens. I like the sandwich even better with the extra crunch of the iceberg.

I used my Cuisinart Griddler to make these sandwiches. It’s a sandwich-making beast.

Also try my southern bologna burgers.

Sweet and Savory Turkey Panini

We made an awesome Cajun-injected turkey breast on our Char-Broil Big Easy for Christmas this year. Since it was just the two of us we ended up with quite a bit of leftover turkey meat. The last time we had extra turkey we made the most outstandingly good chipotle turkey salad sandwiches. This time, we made a sweet and savory turkey panini that was beyond fantastic. Maple bacon, crispy fried shallots, cheese, and chipotle mayonnaise. A little heat, a little crunch, a whole lot of flavor.

Sweet and Savory Turkey Panini

After making a sweet and savory turkey panini you’ll want to put chipotle mayonnaise on every sandwich you ever make. And you’ll want to top them with fried shallots. Trust me. It happened to me. I went on a fried shallot kick like the world has never seen! They’re like onion rings but so much better. The cayenne pepper really goes well against the sweetness of the shallots.

I made this sandwich on my Cuisinart Griddler. It is a sandwich-cooking beast of a kitchen tool. I use mine often, for a heck of a lot more than sandwiches, too. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, it doesn’t matter. It can handle it.

My toasted Italian sandwich, also made using a Griddler, is also fantastic.

  • Preheat a large skillet, Griddler, or panini press.
  • Line a baking sheet pan with foil and add bacon. Do not overlap (use a second baking sheet if you need to). Bake 10 minutes, flip and bake another 10-15 minutes (depending on thickness) until starting to crisp. Remove and place bacon on a paper-towel lined plate. Cover to keep warm.
  • Combine the flour, cayenne and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl.

Spicy Grilled Cheese

I work from home, and with all the food I end up cooking through the week, I usually heat up some leftovers for lunch. Sometimes, though, no leftovers are to be found. That’s when I like to throw together a quick meal, like a grilled cheese sandwich. No need for it to be just cheese and bread, though. I throw on a little tomato and jalapeno and all is good in the world again. Done in minutes this spicy grilled cheese is and nice and different. With a kick.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 4 slices Texas toast
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • 1 Roma tomato seeded, chopped
  • 1 small jalapeno seeded, minced

Instructions

  • Heat large skillet over medium heat.
  • Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  • Lay two slices of bread butter-side down in the skillet. Top each with one slice of cheese. Divide the tomato and jalapeno between the bread slices and top with remaining cheese.
  • If your skillet is large enough, lay the remaining bread slices butter-side down into the skillet. This prevents you from having to flip the sandwiches to brown them on both sides. Bad things can sometimes happen when you flip a sandwich! But, if you’re a good flipper, put the remaining bread on top of the sandwiches, butter-side out.
  • Cook until bread is nice and browned. Flip when ready and brown on other side if you aren’t cooking the top slices separately. Otherwise, top the sandwiches with the cooked top slices.
  • Serve hot and gooey.

Muffuletta Grilled Cheese Sandwich

I love olive salad. I could probably eat muffuletta sandwiches any day, every day. It takes a bit of work, but I prefer my homemade olive salad. But, if time is of the essence, I take no shame in using a great, quality store-bought olive salad like the one from Boscoli. Putting olive salad on a grilled cheese sandwich seemed like not only a good idea, but a great idea. Muffuletta grilled cheese sandwich? Yes!

Muffuletta Grilled Cheese Sandwich

You can use sliced provolone, but for really big extra flavor, use our smoked provolone cheese sauce instead. It makes for an amazing, oeey-gooey muffuletta grilled cheese sandwich.

So, the question is… do you flatten your grilled cheese? Many say it’s not a grilled cheese unless you press down on it and make it super thin. I like mine thick. Sorry 🙂

Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

I usually make sandwiches for lunch every day. It’s that or something off the grill or leftovers from the night before. These pepperoni pizza grilled cheese sandwiches are a big favorite around here. They don’t take long to make, taste like a pizza, and have nice fresh veggies on top. Oh, and ooey gooey cheese. Don’t forget that. You can add as much cheese as you want.

Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese

I bought a Cuisinart Griddler many years ago. I use it for making grilled cheese sandwiches, paninis, hashbrowns, bacon, chicken breasts… anything. Like these Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese sandwiches. Cleanup is easy, and it’s highly portable. It’s great for those trips to the beach or for a cabin rental. You never quite know what cooking equipment you’ll have there when you arrive. You can make breakfast, lunch and dinner on the Griddler from Cuisinart.

Grilled Spinach and Artichoke Cheese Sandwich

After hearing that one of the sandwiches that the Serendipity food truck (sadly, no longer around) serves is based on a spinach and artichoke dip, I took it as a challenge to take my spinach and artichoke dip and make it into a grilled cheese sandwich. And oh, what a happy day it was. This grilled spinach and artichoke cheese sandwich combines a great cheesy dip with grilled sourdough bread. The result is gooey and savory, a perfect change from the ole traditional grilled cheese sandwich. And oh, the bread! The perfect crunchiness to go with the creamy filling!

Grilled Spinach and Artichoke Cheese Sandwich

You’ll want to use a thick, hearty bread for these sandwiches. Thin wimpy white bread isn’t going to cut it. I bought a loaf of sourdough and cut it thick.

I used my Cuisinart Griddler to make these sandwiches. It is a sandwich cooking machine. I love it. I use it for whole bunch of other dishes, too. Like pancakes or waffles. And hamburgers. It’s really a versatile tool to have.

Taco Melt

My wife proclaimed this taco melt as “one of the best things I’ve ever made”. That made me pretty darned happy, since I kinda thought of the idea on my own. I’m sure I’m not the first one to think of making a patty melt-like sandwich using taco meat, but I’m glad I did. It all started with a loaf of Texas Toast. I think Texas Toast is horribly underused. It holds up to darned near anything.

Taco Melt

This is almost like a Sloppy Joe sandwich too. In fact, now that I think about that some more, I think I’ll go toss some taco meat on a hamburger bun and have lunch!

I usually use my Cuisinart Griddler for sandwiches like this melt. I recently bought a Cast Iron Griddle for my Weber gas grill. I absolutely love cooking with it. It is just like cooking on a flat top grill. It gets amazingly hot, which is exactly what I need to cook this taco melt or my other favorite, a patty melt.

Cuban Burgers

Wow, these Cuban burgers were great. I put two things I love into one and I got … lots more love! You’ll need a panini press to flatten these, but it’s ok if you don’t have one. Instead, place the burgers (wrapped in foil) into a large heated skillet then place another, smaller, skillet on top. Weigh it down with a few unopened cans you have on hand to press it down a bit. Voila! Instant panini press!

Cuban Burgers

The easiest way to cook these Cuban burgers is on a Cuisinart Griddler. It is an absolute beast at making pressed sandwiches. It gets nice and hot, giving you that perfect crusty bread. It gets the cheese nice and perfectly melty. That’s what you’re after!

Also try my Dallas burgers.

Patty Melt

I recently bought a Weber 7404 Cast Iron Griddle for my gas grill. I absolutely love cooking with it. It is just like cooking on a flat top grill. It gets amazingly hot, which is exactly what I need to cook a patty melt. I like a little crust on my patty melt burgers, but with tender juicy insides. And the bread has to be grilled just until it has a little crunch and can stand up to the patty and onions.

You can also make these on your stove top. You’ll want to use a large skillet, preferably cast iron. Or better, use a Griddler from Cuisinart. Also try my taco melt and my copycat of the yummy Frisco melt from Steak ‘n Shake.

Waffle Iron Eggs and Biscuits

I found the original recipe for this great breakfast-for-dinner idea over at Amy’s Cooking Adventures. Putting an egg on top of batter in a waffle iron sounded like a pretty nifty approach to me, so I dove right in and made some waffle iron eggs and biscuits.

Waffle Iron Eggs and Biscuits

I have to warn you, you’re going to make a mess making these. There’s really no way around it. No matter how gently you close the iron lid, somewhere along the line you’re going to pop a yoke and it’s going to run out. That’s ok, though. It’s worth the mess.

Guess what? You can also make chocolate chip ‘cookies’ using your waffle iron!

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups Bisquick plus a little more for dusting
  • ⅔ cup low fat milk
  • 4 slices bacon cooked, drained, crumbled
  • 1 cup cheese shredded (Swiss, cheddar, whichever you prefer)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into pats
  • ½ pound breakfast sausage cooked drained, crumbled
  • maple syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat you waffle iron as directed by the manufacturer and spray with non-stick spray as needed
  • Combine biscuit mix and milk until a dough forms.
  • Lightly dust a cutting board with more baking mix. Roll the dough out using a rolling pin until it is about 1/4″ thick. Cut into shapes slightly smaller than your waffle iron. (Our waffle iron is round. I found a saucer that was just smaller than the iron and used that as my template for cutting the dough).
  • Working in batches, place the dough pieces onto your waffle iron. Sprinkle with some bacon and cheese and top with a single egg each. (If you sprinkle the cheese in a circular pattern, creating a sort of ‘well’, the egg will not slide off as easily).
  • Very, very gently lower the top of the waffle iron and cook until done.
  • Serve topped with butter, sprinkled with the breakfast sausage crumbles, and drizzled with pure maple syrup.
