“We ran this sandwich on Nov. 3, National Sandwich Day, as a pace changer in our all-you-care-to-eat operations,” says Corporate Executive Chef Bill Laychur. “We got the idea from the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, and we modified the recipe slightly,” using cooked chorizo sausage links instead of ground chorizo, omitting the onion and potato puffs and adding sour cream. “The sandwich went over well and we may be looking to do more innovative grilled cheese sandwiches on our cycle menu.”

Ingredients

Margarine, as needed
2 slices Texas toast
1/2 oz. sour cream
1 1/2 oz. yellow American cheese
2 oz. sliced chorizo sausage links
1/2 oz. jalapeño peppers
