Who am I to tell you how to make a dang sandwich?
I don’t know how much mayonnaise you like to spread on your bread. I don’t know how spicy you like your mustard. I don’t know how cheesy you like your situation. I can’t know how tall you like to stack your ham.
I don’t want to get into your sandwich making business. It’s a personal thing. I know.
But! May I just offer you two humble suggestions?
Pickles and Potato Chips. Inside.
You knew this was bound to happen.
Typical animal. Always after the good stuff with his smelling nose.
Grilled ham and cheese is easy . I don’t have to convince you that it’s a simple and delicious sandwich. Adding pickles and potato chips is a salty, crunchy stroke of genius. Enjoy warm, just after grilling, with a hearty handful of potato chips.
Grilled Ham Cheese Pickle and Potato Chip Sandwich
You’ll need:
2 slices of sandwich bread
Dijon mustard
cheddar cheese sliced thin
about 5 thinly sliced pieces of ham
sliced dill pickles
a handful of salted potato chips
1 tablespoon of butter for grilling
What you’ll do:
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Spread mustard over both sides of bread. Top with cheese, ham, pickles, potato chips, and more cheese.
Smash sandwich breads together. Grill in melted butter on both sides until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Slice in half. Serve immediately before the chips get soggy.

this is great! when I was a kid I always added chips to my sandwich specially doritos, there is just something awesome when you bite it and you have all the crunchiness inside

…Oh for YUM sakes Miss Joy! This sounds and looks delish’! :o)
…I thought you were vegan, no? While your sandwich looks yummy I could so easily turn vegan with the way farm animals are treated and processed, it’s sickening that our society has even gotten to this point with Factory Farms and CAFO’s. If I could find a local farm close by that properly raised and slaughtered their beef, poultry and pork humanely then I really wouldn’t have a problem eating meat more often, right now I eat very little.
…Thank you for the great sandwich idea!
…Blessings :o)

And here I thought I was the only one who liked potato chips in my sandwiches…. of course, it’s gotta be classic Lay’s potato chips….inside grilled sammies or cold sammies…… YUM! I like mine in my chicken salad sammies, my roast beef and mustard, my tuna salad…. have to have one today!

I LOVE chips on my sandwiches! I used to do that with bologna sandwiches all the time :)

LORD ALMIGHTY YES.
I stick tortilla chips in my breakfast burritos. It gives me joy in this life.

Ohmaigawsh. I <3 grilled cheese, I'ma make this without the pickles though. I hate pickles for some reason D<

Oh man, this takes me back. I used to work at a sandwich shop and one summer I would make a cheesy cuban for lunch every day. Heaven! Then I went to Boston and had the best tuna sandwich of my life. Wanna know why? Potato chips in, not about, the sandwich. Genius! Now I’ll have to marry those two ideas and make my ultimate sandwich. Thanks for connecting the dots for me!

My mom always put potato chips on her sandwiches and passed the yummyness down to me. Now I do it every chance I get. It rocks!

This isn’t so far from my own bologna, mustard, and potato chip sandwich. Just writing this makes me hungry for one!
