This next post comes a little too late as it seems as if we are finally moving into some less frigid weather. However, because this is Nebraska, I am certain (sorry guys) that we aren’t moving into spring quite yet. So, hang on to this next recipe as you will need it when the whether turns chilly again (hopefully not soon).
On her famous blog, the Pioneer Woman refers to her husband as Marlboro Man. This seems to me an accurate description of the handsome rancher she fell in love with. This next recipe is a sandwich he loves, appropriately titled Marlboro Man’s Favorite Sandwich. When I showed this to Chris in the cookbook and asked if he would like me to try it, he replied something to the effect of “oh yeah.” He enjoyed this sandwich so much, as did his friend Devin, who we were hosting that evening for dinner. In fact, I think the PW could even start calling it “Every Man’s Favorite Sandwich.”
To make sure the men (well, and myself) got full, I also sought out a recipe for Potato Bacon Soup. This recipe was very easy to pull together, and the only little snafu was that the cheese didn’t melt as nicely in the broth as I would have liked. When I make this one again, I may experiment with other cheeses. So if anyone tries something different please let me know! Try this one out on the next chilly evening and enjoy the lavish praise that will likely come your way, you deserve it!
Slainte!

Enjoy!
My potato soup recipe uses a milk base (I use 2%) so perhaps cheese melts into milk better than just chicken broth or water based?
