Think You Go To a Deli For One Of These ..Think Again!

Okay, I know this sounds crazy, but do you want to know my very favorite way to make a grilled style sandwich. My Waffle Iron! Yep you heard me right!

Sure it leaves the indents, but seriously that helps to melt the cheese faster, and it cooks both sides at a time.
