Grilled Cheese on Raisin Bread

Submitted by GaylaV

"This sandwich is a little different than the usual grilled cheese but so good. I always serve it with a bit of corn syrup for dipping (ketchup would not work!). Actually, when we were growing up grilled cheese always came with a side of corn syrup for dipping and that still is the way I like it best. I am a cheese lover, extra old cheddar is my favorite but on this sandwich I go back to Velveeta which once again takes me back to my childhood. This sandwich is quite sweet so if you don't like sweet it won't be your cup of tea!"

I really liked this sandwich. Creamy, tangy, sweet, a little crispy. mmm...very unique, but I like sweet and savory recipes. I used cheddar cheese and look forward to making it with Velveeta. DH was not the least bit interested in trying it. He said he isn't that adventurous, yet he'll eat seriously exotic Asian food. Anyway, I'm glad I tried this and I'm looking forward to making it again. Thanks for posting.

So simple and so good! I used Cheddar and honey.

This was sooo good! I used cheddar cheese and tried it with both honey and maple syrup, either of which is tasty. I love both raisin bread and cheese, so having them together is winning combination. This is a great recipe and I'm definitely going to make this again. Thanks a lot.

Nowadays I almost always have Velveeta cheese on hand (for a fudge recipe, believe it or not!) so I had no trouble making this recipe! Loved the use of raisin bread, & the idea of corn syrup on the side, well, that really got me, 'cause I use corn syrup on lots of things (pancakes, waffles, biscuits, scones . . .)! Thanks for a really great treat & a keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick A Chef]

Love, love, love this sandwich. Using Velveeta is essential--I used the individually wrapped slices. Left me and my husband with big smiles on our faces. Thanks Gayla.
