It is no secret around here that certain members of my family LOVE a good grilled cheese sandwich!  I've shared a few on here before, including:

What you need:
Italian bread
Pepperoni
Block or sliced mozzarella cheese
Butter
Optional:  Pasta sauce for dipping
(The exact amounts depend on how many you are making, of course)

Butter one side of each slice of bread, and lay butter-side down.

Top generously with pepperoni slices.

Then add a couple of thick slices of mozzarella cheese, and top with buttered bread.

Toast on panini grill or griddle, or in a frying pan (with a metal lid weighing down the sandwich). It took 4 minutes on my griddle, so maybe two minutes
on each side in a frying pan on medium heat, or till your bread is golden, and your cheese is wonderfully melted.

    This sounds super good! I'm not a meat eater, but they make vegetarian pepperoni that I may try with this. 🙂

      I bet it would be scrumptious! We eat some vegetarian options too, like Morningstar Farms breakfast sausages!
