The Freshman Cook: Inside Out BBQ Ribs Grilled Cheese / #SundaySupper

Today, I have a sandwich for you that I think you will really love!! Inside Out BBQ Ribs Grilled Cheese! You may be asking yourself, “What in the world is an Inside Out Grilled Cheese?” Well, I wasn’t too sure myself, but when my husband learned that we were talking grilled cheese today for Sunday Supper, he told me about an Inside Out Grilled Cheese he saw on a cooking show. Basically, one side of the bread is buttered, and grilled, just like the grilled cheese we grew up with. The difference comes when you put the sandwich together. The toasted side of the bread goes on the inside, making the outside of the sandwich soft and gentle on your mouth! No scrapes on the roof of your mouth. But, you still get that great grilled cheese flavor!
I thought this was a great idea! I concocted this sandwich using leftover ribs and cole slaw. Who says leftovers can’t be new again?! This was a tasty and fun way to use up some of them! Hope you enjoy this sandwich!!

Inside Out BBQ Ribs Grilled Cheese

(makes 2 sandwiches) (printable recipe at end of post)

5 Cooked BBQ Ribs

1/4 -1/2 cup BBQ Sauce
6-7 Onion Slices 
1/2 loaf Italian Bread
 2 tablespoons Butter
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup Cole Slaw
French Fries

Five rib bones will make enough meat for 2 sandwiches.

Pull the meat off the bones. I heated the bones in the microwave and cut the meat off with a knife. It came off easily.

Chop up the rib meat into smaller than bite size pieces.

Heat the BBQ sauce in a pan, and add the chopped rib meat to heat.

Saute a few onion slices in a frying pan.

Cut 2, 3/4″ wide pieces per sandwich from a loaf of Italian bread. This bread gave the sandwich a fantastic flavor. You could also use your favorite bread.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a frying pan. Place bread down on the butter and grill it until the butter browns the bread.

Remove bread from pan, and place on baking sheet. Cover with cheese.

Broil in oven until cheese is melted.

Build your sandwich by placing the cheese side up. On one side place the cole slaw. On the other side top the cheese with BBQ and onions.

Add french fries and a some extra sauce. Enjoy!
