Saw this episode years ago and made these with Big Daddy’s Funked Out Tomato Soup. Best combo ever! Still come back to it again and again for a special treat during tomato season.
Made this back in 2010 when I first saw it with the tomato soup. Fabulous! Thought I had lost it! Whew!
I added some tomatoes
Very tasty! I did half my sandwich with sharp cheddar and half fresh motz… Loved the taste of the olive oil
Brilliant. I’ve added tomatoes as well and it’s just unbeatable.
Simple and Good.
My family loved this grilled cheese…even my picky eaters!
So easy and quick to make and soooo good!
This was one awesome sandwich!! I was feeling sick yesterday and was in the mood for soup, so I decided to make a sandwich to go along side it. The first person I thought of was Big Daddy! I love this guy! His receipies are awesome, easy, and affordable. This sandwich was no exception. I used deli mozerella instead of fresh, and I do regret that..I feel it would have been much “cheesier” with the fresh. I also added tomatoe in between the basil and cheese…again…AWESOME! Pair it with some funked out canned tomato soup and you’ve got a hellofa meal.
A good twist to a grill cheese sandwich! Nice combination with the tomato soup.
