Pepperoni Entrees

Grilled Cheese & Pepperoni Sandwiches

Prep time: 5 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
8 slices white or whole grain bread
8 slices cheddar or American cheese
32 slices Armour® Italian Style Pepperoni or Turkey Pepperoni
1 cup well drained bottled roasted red pepper strips or 4 thin slices large tomato (optional)

Spread butter over 1 side of bread. Turn 4 slices bread over onto a sheet of waxed paper; top each with 1 slice cheese, 8 slices pepperoni, and, if desired, 1/4 cup of the peppers or tomato slice and remaining 1 slice cheese. Close sandwiches with remaining bread buttered sides up.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 sandwiches; cook 4 to 5 minutes per side or until cheese is melted and sandwiches are golden brown. Repeat with remaining 2 sandwiches. (Or, cook sandwiches in 2 batches in a preheated Panini maker or well oiled waffle iron for 3 to 4 minutes.)
