Drunken Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

I’m not sure why I love cooking with beer so much when I don’t like to drink beer at all. Escandalo! A food blogger that doesn’t like beer! Yes, it’s true; I’m just not a fan.

Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion thinly sliced
• ¼ cup lager
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 slices bread
• ⅔ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 10 minutes or until softened and just beginning to turn golden brown, stirring frequently.
• Add lager, salt, and pepper to skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Cook 5 minutes more, continuing to stir frequently, until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.
• Divide onions onto two slices of bread and top with cheese and remaining bread slices. Butter bread on each side.
• Wipe out skillet and return to medium-high heat. Place sandwiches in skillet and cook until browned, about 3–5 minutes on each side (depending on how toasted you like your grilled cheese).
