I used to babysit a whole gaggle of kids and slow cooking sandwiches on the stove top just wasnt practical! This is a nice oven baked alternative. If you are really in a hurry, use the broiler! (For a full lunch, I would add two slices of turkey or ham to each sandwich)

6 Sandwiches (change servings and units)

Ingredients

12 slices bread
12 slices cheddar cheese or American cheese
8 tablespoons butter or margarine

Directions

1
Butter each side of the bread slices with 1 t butter or margarine, and place on a baking sheet.
2
Place cheese on each slice of bread.
3
Top with remaining bread.
4
Bake in preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes at 450.
5
Flip the sandwiches, and bake an additional 6 to 8 minutes, or until golden brown.

What a great idea! I love grilled cheese sandwiches, but always hated to cook them in the skillet. This was way easier! For a bit of variation, I'm going to spread the insides of the bread with ranch dressing and see how that turns out. Also going to use the spreadable butter, or a denser bread next time.

I served these (along with Minestrone) for a Packers game today - all the guys loved them! I made some with bacon, some with turkey, and some plain cheese. Cut all in half, and everyone could sample their preference. Thanks for sharing Little Old Me - a great way to serve a crowd.

This is a great way to make sandwiches for a crowd,and especially useful for thicker breads or sandwiches with additional toppings. The bread gets toasted all of the way through, not soft on the inside like with the pan grilled method. Before the flip, these will look underdone and that's OK, they'll still toast completely on both sides. We enjoyed them! Thanks for a great tip!

I like to lighten up the food I cook, so I used Pam instead of butter. While this works perfectly for grilled cheese sandwiches made on my Foreman grill, it made these sandwiches made in the oven WAY crunchy! My daughter loved it this way. Great idea to make them in the oven. Oh, I also add a touch of mayonaisse to the sandwich.
