At our house we always have sandwich fixings for quick meal or snack before heading out to a game or appointment. My family prefers warm, gooey sandwiches! Melty cheese, smoky bacon and beer-battered bread make this grilled cheese the ultimate comfort food. This can easily be doubled for four servings!

INGREDIENTS

4 SLICES Rustic, White Bread

2 SLICES Provolone Cheese (3/4 oz each)

2 SLICES Cheddar Cheese (3/4 oz each)

1 Egg

3/4 CUP Pale Ale Beer

1/4 CUP All-Purpose Flour

1/4 TEASPOON Chipotle Chili Powder

1 TABLESPOON Butter

DIRECTIONS

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 a hot griddle. Place sandwiches on griddle. Cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and enjoy!
