Prepare cheesy grilled cheese roll-ups in advance for convenient meals and quick snacks.
Ingredients:
  • 4 oz cream cheese (from 8-oz package), softened
  • 1/4 cup mild salsa
  • 20 slices whole wheat bread (approximately 1 loaf)
  • 20 slices American cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter
Instructions:
  • Combine cream cheese and salsa in a small bowl; let it sit for later.
  • With a serrated bread knife, neatly trim the crusts from the bread slices. Gently flatten each bread square using a rolling pin. Smear 1/2 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture evenly on each square, then place 1 slice of cheese on top. Carefully roll up the bread, ensuring a tight seal with each turn.
  • Melt butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add rolls to the skillet seam side down and cook until both sides are golden brown, for about 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels to cool.
  • After cooling the rolls, lay them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer the frozen rolls into a quart-size resealable plastic bag and store in the freezer. When ready to enjoy, take out the desired number of rolls from the bag and reheat in the microwave, oven, or skillet until heated through.
