Ingredients
Directions
Place two slices of cheese in each sandwich. To grill the sandwich:
My mother made great grilled cheese sandwiches. I was quite a picky eater growing up, so I did not like them at the time. But my sisters and all of our friends said they were great because they were crispier than the average grilled cheese. Everyone assumed she just had really good technique.
My younger sister discovered as an adult that, in fact, our mother had a secret ingredient. My sister wandered into the kitchen and found her spreading butter-flavored shortening on the bread. Our mother looked quite embarrassed, but the rest of us were delighted to know her secret ingredient.
