I just bought an electric sandwich maker from Walmart. I just had a Monte Cristo, but need more recipes. Anybody care to share? 
Peanut butter, bacon and jalapeno jelly. Don’t knock it until you try it.
Oddly I have a jar of jalapeno jelly in my pantry. Do you cook the bacon before or just put in in the sandwich?
Cook it first. I crisp it up a little on one of those microwave bacon cookers. You only need to put the sandwich in long enough to toast the bread and let everything get kind of warm and mushy. I use whole wheat bread but white works fine too.
Reuben
Barbecue
Chili
Chicken a la King (if your model makes complete pockets. That stuff gets hot; you don’t want it leaking out.)
Tip: Add banana. Trust me. Neither my mother nor Elvis would steer you wrong.
Ham, mayo, mustard, wax peppers, red onion, cheddar cheese, on rye bread. Warm it until the cheese melts.
Damn tasty
Cubans although I don’t like them as much using hoagie rolls, our bakery here has what they call bially(sp?) bread, which is a kind of bun with a hard thin crust from Mexico.
ham, provolone and roasted red bell peppers(I just get the ones in the jar).
provolone, tomato and a little chiffonade of basil(like pizza margarita)
turkey, bacon, cheddar and a little apple butter
I use olive oil for toasting and baguettes for all but the cubans.
Genoa salami, prosciutto, provolone cheese, roasted red peppers (I also buy the kind in the jar), Gulden’s mustard, and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. My favorite sandwich.
Reubens with corned beef, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and thousand island dressing, ideally on rye bread, and then grill the entire sandwich until the cheese starts melting. I actually prefer pastrami, even though I wouldn’t refuse a corned beef reuben.
Roast beef (or even better, beef brisket), smoked cheddar or any kind of smoked cheese you can get, sauteed onions, and sweet barbecue sauce.
…Warms the cockles of my heart.
Capicola, Smoked Provolone, Marinara, and Giardinera.
…on ciabatta.
A well oiled ciabatta…a nice extra virgin.
Pardon the interruption, but WTF is a sandwich maker. Isn’t that just, like, a person with 2 pieces of bread and some stuff?
Seconded. A divine combination that I’m surprised someone else has come up with too.
Another twist is to add slices of banana to the above, and replace the jelly with tabasco so it doesn’t get too sweet.
Mmm.
Will you marry me? I’m the only one in my family who likes corned beef, and it would be great to be able to cook it and have someone else enjoy it with me.
Your first sandwich needs some pepperoni in it, though.
two pieces of bread (whichever you have a hankering for,) oiled or buttered + meat (what you got? what you wanna eat now?) + cheese (cheddar? mozza? havarti? ugh/processed … whatever you like) + (optional) convenient veggies + stuck in a sammich maker long enough to toast the bread & melt the cheese = a real fricken sammich.
screw recipes. just experiment with combinations of things you like the taste of, as any real cook would – pastrami & cream cheese on banana bread? or plain old roast beast & cheddar with onions? or caviar & brie on pumpernickel stumps? no prob if that’s your thing.
Brie and Prosciutto on Pumpernickel with Dijon. Lettuce or alfalfa optional.
I’m spoken for, but I’ll always join you for some good corned beef! My birthday falls on St. Patrick’s Day, and two years ago I made a huge pot of corned beef and cabbage and baked soda bread from scratch, looking forward to sharing it with friends over some Guinness pints. Guess what – nobody wanted any! I was eating corned beef and cabbage for almost two weeks. (I boiled it, by the way, but I hear there are even better ways to prepare it.)
