I worked outside weeding our 2 acre pasture for 3 hours this morning! The rain brought up all kinds of weeds, including the treacherous puncture vine (we call them steer heads around here). They're a type of sand burr, very painful to step on, and our pasture is filled with them, in varying sizes, from babies, to huge burr-filled plants! The burrs are so sharp they can puncture a bike tire, and the bottom of your feet! With all that hoeing and sweating, I worked up quite an appetite!

I wanted something substantial without a whole lot of work involved. My Ultimate Comfort Bread was becoming a bit stale, so as I perused the fridge . . . I found beautiful crimini mushrooms, onion, medium rare, deli roast beef (nitrite-free), medium cheddar, and sweet and spicy mustard . . . The perfect fixin's for a Grown-Up Grilled Cheese Sandwich!

Now that's a sa-wheet sandwich!

2 slices of good homemade style bread

Softened butter, for bread and frying onions and mushrooms

Good spicy mustard

2 sliced of mild cheddar, Monterey Jack, or provolone

Now that's a BIG sandwich, loaded with BIG GROWN-UP flavor!!!

Who said grilled cheese sandwiches have to be made with just cheese? This big, bold sandwich is hardy enough to serve for dinner! Perfect sides would be homemade baked French fries and coleslaw with my Creamy Slaw Dressing!
