You know those times when you just want the comfort of childhood favorites like, I don't know, grilled cheese?

Yes, those moments.

But you're also cooking on a grill or even an open fire, and you have some burgers from yesterday's meal that you want to use...

Let me introduce you to this delicious treat where we show you how to toast grilled cheese in aluminum foil and make an epic mess-free sandwich thanks to Reynolds Wrap® non-stick aluminum foil.

Oh, and did I mention it's a perfect way to use itleftover cheeseburgers? Because who doesn't want oneCheeseburger for breakfast?

I'm not a fan of hamburgers...or I don't have one, sure, cooked sausage works great here too, but it's not that fun to say.

Grilled cheese in aluminum foil?

Yes you've read correctly. Perfect for preparing and tossing over the campfire or BBQ.Wrapping the sandwich in a protective double layer of aluminum foil allows for even toasting., with a little twist, leaving the filling between those two savory outer layers of bread.

How cool is that! You can place one on a grill or directly over the coals and you'll get onehot sandwich melted in 20 minutesthat comes in its own worry-free disposable packaging.

The trick to the perfect foil-wrapped sandwich is the double layer of foil. This acts as a heat insulator and as a protective layer against burns. And when you use Reynolds Wrap® non-stick aluminum foil, the melted filling won't stick to the foil and will dry out, making it easy to clean.

So yes, you can toast a sandwich in tinfoil, and it's just as fun and delicious as that dusty panini in the pantry.

Grilled cheese on another level

This grilled cheese not only has a great cheese duo, but it's loaded with scrambled eggs and crumbled leftovers.Cheeseburgerfrom yesterday's meal, because using leftovers is one thing here, and nobody complains if there's still a cheeseburger in itBreakfastMix.

Be sure to pile on large fillings like sautéed onions and peppers, herbed pasta, and anything else that will make your boat float, but remember that the liquid in any of these things will cause the bread to soften as it cooks .

Perfect bread for grilled cheese

Brotresteit is perfect for this. Why? Because hestale bread doesn't absorb as much moistureof the filling as it wraps and bakes. It stays firm and plump without getting soggy.

Unfortunately, thin white bread gets soggy and nobody wants that.Choose a hearty, thick sourdoughor farmhouse bread. Trust me, they make better sandwiches anyway.

And while you're working with leftovers like the last day of camp, there's nothing that comes home like some sort of cleanup,Place the bread in a safe place or on a wire rack in the oventhe night before and leave to mature.

Forget the butter, use mayonnaise.

For thisPerfect roasted gold bite from edge to edge., you want to throw the butter anda mayonnaise. Mayo helps the bread toast to a rich, perfectly crisp golden outer layer.

Got a mayonnaise hater at home? Don't even tell them (unless it's an allergy and then, you know, safety first). No one will ever guess you've substituted one for the other when they marvel at your mastery of the grilled sandwich.

Can you make these foil wrapped sandwiches ahead of time?

it is notSim….

I do not want to lie to you. You take thin white bread and load it with all these fillings, wrap it in aluminum foil and hope it doesn't get a little soggy the next day, that's not going to happen. But if you use a lot of stale bread and minimize the liquid in the filling, then yes,You can do this in advance.

like my otherFire Chicken Sandwich, wrap the sandwiches tightly in aluminum foil the night before and keep in the refrigerator until grilling time.
