Grilled cheese my way.

[RonB]

A while back I was lamenting that I could only find corned flats - no points. Several members told me that Walmart carries them, so I checked, they had them and I bought one. I soaked it over night in water to desalinate it, then rubbed it with Meathead's pastrami rub and I smoked it yesterday. It took it about 10 hours at 250* F and then I put it in a 170* F oven for two hours before refrigerating it. Today it spent 4 hours in my "poor man's SV" at about 173* F. It was very tender and very juicy - everyone loved it and I will be doing this again.
I made a grilled cheese on swirl rye with Swiss cheese and mustard. Somehow it wound up with more pastrami than cheese though.

Nice job

I think with all this talk, the pastrami bug is about to bite me. Been a few years.

[JCBBQ]

yeah, me too. ive never done one.

[RonB]

EdF - I think buying a corned flat is the cheapest and easiest way to give this a try. Check your local Walmart to see if they have them in stock.

RonB, you're killing me here. I just had dinner and now I'm starving!!! 😎

[RonB]

Thunder77 - That was my plan.

Beautiful!

The pastrami looks wonderful and the swirl rye bread pushes it waaay over the top!

[RonB]

Skip - it's the only way to go.

Well I'm still convinced what you are eating is a Melt and not a Grilled Cheese.... lol... the debate continues...

even though I'm not a big pastrami person... it still looks pretty dang tasty. well done!

[RonB]

Nate - I must confess that I titled this with the grilled cheese purists in mind. I actually agree with you that a grilled cheese is just bread and cheese grilled, but I couldn't resist. With a few grill marks, my sandwich could almost be called a panini too.

[Nate]

Lol... I wouldn't have ribbed you a little if it wasn't in good fun...

[HawkerXP]

Very nice.
