Ingredients

  • Wide Egg Noodles
  • 1 (12 ounce) can campbell's Tomato Juice

Instructions

Boil noodles according to instructions. Either microwave or heat tomato juice on stove. Add cooked noodles. Add lots of pepper. Serve

Open Faced Grilled Cheese

From Jan Long
PDF

Ingredients

  • Sliced bread
  • sliced cheese
  • sliced ham (optional)
  • sliced tomato (optional)

Instructions

Simplest version, put cheese on bread and place in oven on broil. Leave oven door open and watch until cheese bubbles.

Variations:
Toast bread prior to putting in oven - this allows the center of the bread to remain crisper. Top with a dollop of ranch dressing, tomato and lettuce
