AIM'S FAVORITE PICKLE CHEESE MELT

Steps:

• Preheat a skillet and toss in enough butter to fry your sandwich. I tend to use more than necessary, usually, because I like mine more wet than toasty.
• Place the pickle slices on top of the cheese and top with the other cheese slice and bread.
• Fry the sandwich until it gets browned like you like it, but long enough on either side to melt the cheese until gooey.
• Eat it while it's hot!

EASY HAM WITH CHERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Score surface of ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 in. deep. In a small bowl, combine the jelly, mustard and 1 tablespoon ginger ale; rub over scored surface of ham. Cut ham in half; place in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until a thermometer reads 140°, basting with cooking juices near the end of cooking time., For sauce, place pie filling in a saucepan. Combine cornstarch and remaining ginger ale; stir into pie filling until blended. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve over ham.

GRILLED CHEESE PATTY MELTS

WAFFLED HAM AND CHEESE MELT WITH MAPLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the waffle iron on low.
• Spread a thin, even layer of butter on one side of each piece of bread.
• Pile the cheese and ham on the unbuttered side of one slice of bread, and put the open-face sandwich in the waffle iron as far away from the hinge as possible. (This allows the lid to press down on the sandwich more evenly.) Place the second slice of bread on top, with the buttered side up, and close the waffle iron.
• Check the sandwich after 3 minutes. About halfway through, you may need to rotate the sandwich 180 degrees to ensure even pressure and cooking. If you'd like, you can press down on the lid of the waffle iron a bit to compact the sandwich, but do so carefully-the lid could be very hot. Remove the sandwich from the waffle iron when the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
• Spread the Maple Butter on the outside of the sandwich. Slice in half diagonally and serve.
