Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

6 slices hickory-smoked bacon
4 slices rustic white bread
2 slices provolone cheese (3/4-ounce each)

1 egg
3/4 cup pale ale beer
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon until crisp; drain on paper towel. On 2 of the bread slices, place 1 slice provolone cheese, 3 slices bacon and 1 slice cheddar cheese on each. Top with remaining bread slices. Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat or to 375°F. In shallow bowl, beat egg, beer, flour and chili powder with fork until smooth. Dip each sandwich into batter, giving it a few seconds on each side to absorb the batter; drain excess batter back into bowl. Melt butter on hot griddle. Place sandwiches on griddle.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (I used French's)
1 small onion, julienned or chopped
Half a medium green bell pepper, julienned or chopped
Salt and black pepper, to taste
8 to 10 slices Provolone cheese (2 for each sandwich)
8 to 10 slices hearty, white bread (2 for each sandwich)
2 to 3 tablespoons salted butter or margarine, for the bread, softened or melted

Steps:

Brown the meat in a heavy skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. (Leave it a little chunky.) Stir in the salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Remove meat from skillet. If needed, drain all except about 2 teaspoons of the excess grease from the skillet; add the chopped onions and bell pepper and cook just until tender and beginning to brown. Add a little salt and pepper. When the onions and bell pepper are done, add the meat back to the skillet and stir together. Remove from heat. Butter one side of enough bread slices to make 4 to 5 sandwiches. With the buttered sides down of 4 to 5 slices of bread, add a slice of cheese to each slice of bread. Top cheese with the meat mixture. Place another slice of cheese on top of the meat mixture. Cover each sandwich with a top slice of bread, buttered sides facing up. In a heavy, large skillet or griddle on medium heat, place the sandwiches and let cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until bread is browned and cheese is melted. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:

Choose the right bread. A sturdy bread like sourdough or thick-cut white bread will hold up well to the beer batter and won't get soggy. For a more decadent sandwich, try using grilled cheese bread.
Use a flavorful cheese. A sharp cheddar or a creamy Gruyère are both good choices. You can also use a combination of cheeses for a more complex flavor.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different beers. A light beer will give you a crispy batter, while a dark beer will give you a richer flavor. Experiment until you find a beer that you like.
Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the sandwiches. This will help the batter to set quickly and prevent the sandwiches from sticking to the pan.
Cook the sandwiches over medium heat. This will help the cheese to melt evenly and prevent the batter from burning.
Serve the sandwiches hot, with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing or marinara sauce are both good choices.

Conclusion:

Beer-battered grilled cheese sandwiches are a fun and easy way to dress up a classic comfort food. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a sandwich that is crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor. Experiment with different beers and cheeses to find your favorite combination. These sandwiches are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, or as a fun appetizer for a party. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy grilled cheese, give beer-battered grilled cheese sandwiches a try.
