Working at home has its advantages. The best part is eating lunch with my girls every day.
Unlike my previous workplace, though, we do not have a Wendy's and Taco Bell within walking distance. And, my wife will tell you that, for some reason, I do not enjoy plain ham and cheese sandwiches — frustrating the "what do we have for lunch?" quandary.
I will tolerate grilled cheese sandwiches, though, so we sometimes have grilled cheese with soup or grilled cheese and ham. A while back I discovered a new variation of the grilled cheese sandwich using one of my favorite ingredients: Wolf Brand Chili.
Wolf Brand Chili has no equal. It is the best chili on the planet.

There's no real magic to making a grilled chili cheese sandwich, but here are some tips:
- You'll want to prevent spreading the chili on the opposite side of an already buttered piece of bread in mid-air. I'll leave this exercise to the reader.
- Unless you want to eat your sandwich with a fork, spread the chili thinly.


Bon appetit!
For reference, here's another chili cheese sandwich: The Double Decker–definitely one for the fork!

I'm seriously going to Kroger's to buy Wolf Brand Chili! The Double Decker looks like greatness, but I'm not sure I could take it… Thanks for the cuisine tip!

Do you think I should be more responsible and put a graphic image warning at the top of the post? Some have said the second image is, well, down-right nasty!

Yeah, maybe a rating akin to the movie ratings? This one might earn a mild PG. Some people might be disturbed by the look and the consistency of the chili on the bread and then the seepage out of the sandwich…

I totally agree. The post now carries a proper rating.
I feel like such a responsible netizen!

Yep. Just a few boxes with text, so it was just under my graphic design ability threshold.
