Zesty Grilled Cheese Sandwich

A grilled cheese sandwich is a simple quick snack or meal replacement. However, with a simple additions, it can become a much more zesty meal.

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of bread (I prefer wheat)
• 2 slices of American cheese
• 2 tbsp of pasta sauce or salsa
• Diced bellpepper
• Several sliced olives
  

Directions:

1. Grill the inner surfaces of the bread slices, where you will eventually put the cheese. Use a frying pan with stove set at half max.
   
2. Wait til the inner surfaces are crisp and lightly brown, then flip the slices and put the stove on quarter max heat.
3. Lightly spread one tablespoon of pasta sauce (or salsa) on each side.
4. Place one slice of cheese on top of the sauce.
5. Place the diced bellpepper and several olives on one side.
   
6. Flip the other side on top of the side with the olives and bellpeppers after the cheese has slightly melted.
   
7. Grill both sides until lightly brown. Then, place on a plate and turn off the stove.
   

So, a straightforward grilled cheese sandwich, but with a few extra steps, it is now a more flavorful experience. Enjoy!
