Best Grilled Cheese Ever
Recipe courtesy of Ree Drummond
Total: 25 min
Active: 25 min
Yield: 4 servings
Level: Easy

Ingredients

4 poblano or Anaheim chiles (or you may use canned whole green chiles)
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
8 slices rye bread
12 slices provolone
2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
8 slices Cheddar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened

Directions

Begin by roasting the chiles over the flame on your stovetop (or under the broiler) until the skin is totally blackened (if using fresh). When the chiles are totally charred, throw them into a plastic bag. Seal and allow them to steam and cool.

Next, pour the white vinegar over the sliced red onion and let them sit awhile. This'll take away a little of the crazy onion flavor and leave them with a nice sweetness.

Finally, make the special sauce: equal amounts of mayonnaise and Dijon. It's the simple things in life!

When you're ready to make the sandwiches, scrape the blackened skin off the chiles. Scrape out the seeds, too, so you'll wind up with big pieces of roasted green chiles.

For each sandwich, generously spread 2 pieces of rye bread with the special sauce. Lay on 2 slices of provolone, 2 slices of tomato, 2 slices of Cheddar... a nice layer of roasted green chiles... a few red onion slices... and one more slice of provolone just to hold it all together.

Top with the other slice of bread and spread the outsides with a good amount of butter.

Toast the sandwich in a skillet over medium-low heat until the cheese is thoroughly melted inside. Be careful not to burn the bread!

I love this show. I may not be able to eat all the different dishes you prepare but I still enjoy watching you cook and I save the ones I can eat. 😃

This grilled cheese sandwich looks incredibly delicious! I just started putting my grilled cheese sandwiches on parchment paper in a 400 degree oven and flip them when the bottom is browned. Takes about 10-12 minutes and they come out supper crunchy.

This is definitely the best grill cheese sandwich ever. I remember when she first made this episode I went out to purchase all the ingredients and made it right away. Incredible! I can't eat it more than once a year because of all the cheese (but on a side note: it's the perfect amount of cheese for this sandwich.) It's been a while since I last made it. Will definitely have to make it again this month. I would eat this weekly if I could. Yum!🤤

I always seem to either burn one piece of the bread and not cook the other one enough when the cheese is ready. I just discovered the best way to make perfect grilled cheeses on my own - put both pieces of bread in the skillet butter side down and put an equal amount of cheese on both. Cover the pan so the cheese will melt well. When done, both pieces of bread will be cooked exactly the same, you just plop them together.

I can't wait to try it with my pablanos from the garden

She’s my kinda cook - doesn’t measure, just uses VERY generous amounts of everything!

You are the best Pioneer Lady. I watch you all the time.

Looks great...6 slices of cheese. Think I'll have to share this one with a friend.

[jusssayin]

It's grilled cheese but I prefer just a basic grilled cheese sandwich. Butter the outside, cheese on the inside and grill it.

Try mayo instead of butter for the It's phenomenal

[paulg]

It's not my cup of tea, but I'm sure it taste amazing to Ree and others out there.

[CrazyRachel]

Looks amazing! I like to just put a big ol dab of butter in the hot pan instead of try to butter the outside of the sando. 🍗

[grace]

Y'all in the comments are so disgusting and negative. If you don't like it then leave lmao nobody is forcing you to stay and be nasty

[AgentAO]

So much work for a cheese sandwich 😂😂😂

[mrutherford]

When you add the vinegar to the onions does it make it taste like vinegar?

[marcygiardono-macias]

Anyone else think it's crazy these millionaire chefs making grilled cheese sandwiches?

[sarasirit.v]

Add butter to the pan and put the un buttered side down.

[kathymyers]

Looks great! Wish I could . It's the bread. Go keto Ree!
