GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH ON THE GRILL
If you have a hankering for a next-level grilled cheese, make it over the fire. Cooking it low and slow with the grill lid on means that the bread not only crisps, but also acquires a deep smoky flavor. (Stale bread works especially well here.) If you want to add chopped grilled vegetables, pickled peppers or anything else to your sandwich, mix it cold or at room temperature with the cheese before piling it onto the bread.

Steps:
- Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for medium heat. (Medium is 325 degrees to 375 degrees. You should be able to hold your hand 4 to 5 inches above the grates for 6 to 7 seconds.)
- Thinly spread mayonnaise on one side of each piece of bread. When you're ready to grill, take the bread, cheese, salt and a spatula to the grill. Clean the grates with a grill brush. (No need to grease the grates.) Place the slices mayonnaise side down on the grill. Evenly sprinkle half the slices with about 3/4 cup cheese. Cover the grill and cook until the bread is golden and the cheese is nearly all melted, 4 to 6 minutes. Check on the bread often, moving slices around the grill as needed to avoid burning.
- Use the spatula or your hands to top the cheese halves with the other toasted slices. Transfer to plates, press down slightly and sprinkle with salt.
A DIFFERENT GRILLED CHEESE SAMMICH
This is not your typical grilled cheese sandwich. It takes some time to mix together, but the end results are really good. You can use it for more than just a grilled cheese sandwich. This can also be melted slowly for an awesome dip. Top a bowl of chili with this mix. Mix it with cooked macaroni for a different mac and cheese, but amounts will have to be adjusted to your "cheesy" taste!

Steps:
- Place everything in order in a bowl and mix. Butter one side of your bread and put on a medium hot griddle. Top with the amount of pimiento cheese spread you want. Butter the other slice of bread and put butter side up. Grill until golden brown. It will drip down the sides if you use too much, but just makes it all the better. Remove and let sit for about a minute, to let cheese settle. Cut in half and serve.
- Drop a dollop on top of a bowl of chili.
- Melt slowly and serve as a nacho dip. I add a little hot sauce to spice it up or about a 1/2 cup salsa for another kind of dip.
- I have also used this to make macaroni and cheese. Cook your macaroni and drain. Mix the above mix, you may have to increase the amounts to make it cheesy enough. Add about 1 cup of milk. Pour into greased casserole and bake about 45 minutes at 400.
