This a version of a grilled cheese sandwiches that use creamy Wisconsin Brie cheese paired with slow braised short ribs. The ribs take a long time to cook., but we recommend using a slow cooker and cook the ribs on low for 8 hours. Just put them on before you go to work and they will be ready by the time you get home. This recipe adapted from Wisconsin Cheese.
