Grilled Cheese Refried Bean Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Set oven control to broil. Cut rolls horizontally in half. Broil cut sides up 2 to 3 inches from heat about 1 minute or until golden brown.
• Spread each roll half with 2 tablespoons beans. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon cheese.
• Broil with tops 2 to 3 inches from heat about 1 1/2 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Preheat a broiler.
• Drain the beans in a colander set over a bowl. Save the bean liquid.
• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and saute until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the drained beans. Using a potato masher, mash the beans until they become a spreadable mixture, adding extra bean liquid, if needed.
• Put the rolls on a baking sheet and broil until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Spread each half of the rolls with about 1/2 cup of the refried beans. Top with shredded cheese. Return to the oven and broil until the cheese is melted and starting to bubble. Transfer the rolls to a serving tray and serve.
• Combine the beans, garlic, onion, and bay leaves in a medium pot. Add enough water to reach about 1 1/2 inches over the beans. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the beans are tender, about 2 hours. Add more water if the beans are absorbing too much liquid. The beans should be soupy when done, with plenty of liquid remaining. Season the beans with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Ladle the beans and cooking liquid into soup bowls and garnish with Mexican crema, cilantro and chopped white onions. Alternatively, the beans can be drained and use as a filling for soft tacos.

Steps:

• Preheat skillet over medium heat. Generously butter one side of a slice of bread. Place bread butter-side-down onto skillet bottom and add 1 slice of cheese. Butter a second slice of bread on one side and place butter-side-up on top of sandwich. Grill until lightly browned and flip over; continue grilling until cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining 2 slices of bread, butter and slice of cheese.

Steps:

• Sandwich prep:.
• Heat griddle or other skillet to medium heat.
• Lightly spread butter or margarine on all 8 slices of bread, one side only.
• Place black beans on several layers of paper towels and pat them dry.
• Cut pepper jack cheese into medium-thick slices as you would for a grilled cheese sandwich. You will need enough slices to make your required number of sandwiches.
• Have your chopped onions handy.
• To build your sandwich:.
• Make grilled cheese sandwich as you normally would -- but add black beans and purple onions in with the cheese.
• Grill on each side until golden brown and check to see that the cheese is nicely melted on the inside.
• ENJOY!
