Crunchy Cheese Sandwiches

1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1 medium tomato, diced
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1-2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
6-7 slices bread

1. In a medium bowl, stir together the onion, tomato, celery, bell pepper, cheese, chili powder and salt. Arrange slices of bread on a baking sheet or broiling pan. Top each one with mixture, spreading out to the edges.
2. Broil for 4 to 5 minutes, or until cheese melts. Watch closely to prevent burning. Serve immediately.

For more toasty bread: Toast the bread before topping it & broiling it
For cheesier sandwiches: Top the mixture with small slices of cheese
For cooked onion taste instead of raw onion taste: Broil for 4-5 minutes, top with extra cheese, then broil until that cheese melts
For different flavor: substitute curry instead of chili powder, or omit chili powder and just sprinkle on the curry
Or mix and match!

(Can you tell we make these a lot?)
