Beats regular grilled cheeses by a mile! Why didn't I think of this before? I love tomato on grilled cheese sandwiches but this was much better. Mozzarella had a great texture, like a pizza sandwich! I thought adding an Italian herb to the cheese was a great idea so I did that too. I used garlic salt because I ran out of powder. This was so cool and easy. I wish my mom thought of making this when I was a kid, heheh. I'll make this again! Thanks Red Chef Mama!

Another RZ chef & I recently had an exchange about how we both view a grilled cheese sandwich as the ultimate comfort food & how fun it is to find new recipes of the genre that go outside the norm. This is *great* & another I will suggest to her. I assembled the sandwiches in the pan, dusted the cheese w/the garlic powder + an Italian herb blend & slapped the lid on them! So easy & we savored ea bite slathered w/the marinara sauce that makes it a taste sensation & should not be skipped IMHO. Thx for sharing this great sandwich w/us. :-)

I live in Kansas with my hubby and our two beautiful babies. The one thing I told my husband when we got together was he could not be a picky eater and he has to do the dishes!! :) I figured I should change this because it said I work at home and I recently got a job at a fabulous salon/spa. I am skin care specialist (Esthetician) there, and I love it. My hours are flexible so I still get to spend plenty of time with my kiddo's and of course on recipezaar every chance I get! I grew up with a mother that doesn't like to cook so I basically learned how to cook on my own when I was out of the house :) I didn't know I would like to do it so much! Oh, and "Red Chef Mama" is because I have all red in my kitchen (towels, plates, untensils, you name it) and of course I'm a mom! :)
