Taco Grilled Cheese {Week 3 of The Grilled Cheese Transformation}

Committing to grilled cheese once a week is a beautiful thing. You know there is at least one night per week of cheesy comfort food to look forward to (background info here) and a fairly lazy blog post (for which I apologise).

The Bookworm decided to have a go this week. He selected Taco Grilled Cheese - again by Closet Cooking. As usual, it was modified a little.

Seasoned ground beef:

Minced beef was browned with onion and garlic and then beef stock and Mexican spice was added to taste.

Store-bought guacamole. I know, cheating! Avocados were seriously expensive and the Black Swan guacamole is really good.

Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese {Week 2 of the Grilled Cheese Transformation}

Pulled pork was my find of 2013. Who knew that a reasonably cheap chunk of meat, stuck in a slow-cooker for a long time bathed in sugar could be so delicious. Well, the USA actually. Nevermind, I got there eventually. So when consulting 31 grilled cheeses that are better than a boyfriend the pulled pork grilled cheese from Closet Cooking was a natural choice. I wish I had discovered Closet Cooking when I first moved to Melbourne- an absolute fount of easy recipes that can be achieved in a fairly basic kitchen.

This was an incredibly simple dinner because the slow-cooker sorts out the meat for you and then you just whack it on some bread with cheese and sauce and toast. Great for a slightly healthier alternative to takeaway if you are tired or stressed- and I was both on this occasion.
 
I really love my recipe for pulled pork adapted from The Londoner so I used it instead of Closet Cooking's.
