You can also make some great reubens on a GF grill.

You've come to the right place, I am an expert on such things ...just butter the bread up, toss it on there, and let it sit for a good 10 minutes, and BAM, you got grilled cheese.

I've found that grilled cheese on the Forman Grill isn't as good as the ones made on the pan. It crushes the bread and makes the sandwich feel thin.

My girlfriend tried making us grilled cheese sandwiches in the George Foreman grill once. They were more like cheese pancakes as the weight of the lid squashed the bread. She insisted there should be a way to cook both sides without squashing the bread. She hasn't found the solution yet, so in the meantime, it's grilled cheese pancakes. By the way, put a slice of bologne in the sandwich with the cheese, it makes it 100% better.

Yes indeed. The opportunities are endless.

This is the way I make it in a pan.
