Grilled Cheese on Raisin Bread

Recipe #319085 | 5 min | 5 min prep | add private note

This sandwich is a little different than the usual grilled cheese but so good. I always serve it with a bit of corn syrup for dipping (ketchup would not work!). Actually, when we were growing up grilled cheese always came with a side of corn syrup for dipping and that still is the way I like it best. I am a cheese lover, extra old cheddar is my favorite but on this sandwich I go back to Velveeta which once again takes me back to my childhood. This sandwich is quite sweet so if you don't like sweet it won't be your cup of tea!

    MMMM. I never would have put grilled cheese on cinnamon raisin bread, and hadn't had velveeta in YEARS, but after thinking about the ingredients, I was pretty sure they'd be good together, but had no idea just how good! WOW! The flavors just blend together into something that's not anything like the individual ingredients. I had thought the idea of the syrup was a little odd, but as I was nibbling on this, I got to thinking it might not be bad to have something sweet with it, so I reached for the MAPLE syrup. YUMMY! Made for FALL 08 PAC. Thanks for posting!

    Quick, easy and delicious. I used sharp vintage cheddar and made in the sandwich press but omitted the corn syrup. Thank you Laffer, made for Please Review My Recipe.

    Oh boy, I've made these three times over the past week for lunches, but wanted to wait until I bought some corn syrup to give that part of the recipe a try. I used cooper sharp cheese all except for when I tried it with the corn syrup - used velveeta. I honestly thought they tasted just fine by them selves, dipped in tomato soup, and the corn syrup wasn't bad either. 2 tablespoons isn't much , I just dabbed the corner I was about to bite a little bit, I liked it, but I have an infamously strong sweet tooth. I also used cinnamon raisin bread, I don't know if theres a plain raisin bread but I liked this better lol. No one else would try any, so this would never be a meal in the house, but no one eats lunch with me so, who cares .
